Haiku-Like Poems

A soft yet firm handshake
A gentle heart-warming smile
Again we will meet 

A heart, its symbol
Spread out in many places
We all should share love 

Right in front of us
In or out, we are blinded
The power of light 

Darkness surrounds us
Can it overcome the light?
Don't let it grasp you 

The warmest embrace
Some comforting words really
Can help a person 

Not wanting to be
Like everyone else, I
Need to break away   

It would be so nice
If I could meet you there when
Peace and goodness reign 

Big eyes look up and
Stare at you with a smile and
You are truly glad 

Pushing you forward
All you see is open road
Don't turn to look back 

Drowning in the deep
Nothing feels right around you
You're longing for breath 

Things we sometimes put
In the back of our minds we
Pull out when wanted 

We have lost our minds
To what, I don't really know
Could it be pressure? 

To much to really
Count, starvation, corruption
There's never enough   

Spreading all the love
Bringing joy to all people
Always share a smile   

Finger to the mouth
Not a sound, enough to hear
A pin drop, silence 

So many questions
So little time, what is this
Life really about? 

Heavily flowing
It saves and destroys our lives
Why is it wasted? 

So many colors
Allow us to all create
Anything we want   

Drastically dull
Depressing feelings and clouds
Too heavy for us 

Many people lack
The mentality to do
What they really want   

The perfect place to
Go, when you need to get away
So you can relax 

The earth all around
Natural things happen all
The time, deal with it

Sneaky and lazy
But always love to play, these
Furry, fun creatures

Always running late
The seconds are ticking by
There is no more time

Deep in the shadows
Something is always hiding
Watch out for danger
