Fun with Haiku

Just playing around :)

Hot the blood tonight
Lunna's call we must obey
Free, the pack now hunts.


Magic coffee bean
My kingdom for coffee and
intravenous drip.


Throats pierced with darkness
Born of eternal shadow
Mistress of the night.


Mane and tail flying
Symmetry and grace defined
Essence of freedom.


Poised atop the world
When only tails are twitching
Hit and run attack.

The Dark Road Taken

What doubt the night that never ends,
Seems to feed into my soul.
The peddled wheels spin round and round
Traveling a road I cannot see.

The choice was always mine to make
It seemed to me the way to truth
Unlike the illusion of dim streetlights
And worth the sacrifice to be made.

I want to claim I didn't know
The path I chose would be this dark.
Except to say that is a lie
Gad made it clear at the journey's start.

The dream I was living wasn't real
And the way to truth a ragged road
With hidden pits that were dark and deep
Cutting through a forest filled with night.

But the choice was always mine to make
And I thought the price was worth the cost
So I faced the dark road and my tears
Sure I would make it to journey's end.

In false humility and arrogant pride
With a touch of fear with determined set
Trusting first in my own strength
God's only job to point the way.

But I never dreamed this journey's path
Long past hope and signs of life
Exhausted muscles faltering from strain,
And the heart stuttering in unbearable emptiness.

That I would find myself still on the road
Alone in the dark with but a memory of hope
Struggling to understand and overcome.
With nothing, but faith to hold me true.

And so, I keep riding and cannot look back
God grants me strength at the end of myself
And I ride in the darkness if need be forever
My only companion a memory of hope.
