Simple Haiku

A haiku for, for those who don't know, is a poem with the structure of 5..7..5. That's 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and then 5 again. Below is one I came up real quick with.

Only in my dreams
Can I hold your hand, while
my eyes take you in


on-ly-in-my-dreams
can-i-hold-your-hand-whi-le

And next week be ready for a sonnet!! Well, maybe not (>_<")

I think about..

I think about you
time and again

I think about the day you left
did you really have to go?

I think about my new loves and losses
nothing changes

I think about those days
when the world wasn't so strange

I think about your smile
it gave strength to win all battles

I think about your caress
how i've never felt so safe

I think about you now
living your life

I think about your happiness
with this other guy

I think about your sadness
when he breaks your heart

I think about your desires
how i wish to make them true

I think about the miles between us
your so far away

I think about your future
what are you planning?

I think about my life...
it can only be a life with you

The light in my window

i would look up to you
my guiding star
you would light my window
when the world was dark

shadows appear, across my face
as if a disease
vines take your place
day by day
they swallow your light
vines of doubt and confusion
i try to fight

how i long for the sun
my world in ice,
a battle not won
my life to pay the price

1...2...3
you again i will hold
one by one,
i drive away the cold

now i close my eyes
