Compete
We compete for air
Nearly eight billion people
All needing to breathe
Words press on my mind
Compete with one another
To enter haiku
Compete side by side
Building team spirit and skill
To fight head to head
Trial
Integrity blues
Can I retain my standards
Against Life's trials
The retirement race
So many things to complete
Daily time trial
Dreams are a trial
Of madness ruling our worlds
Case dismissed, we wake
Mind, Poison
Mind can play strange tricks
Exaggerating one word
That may poison love
Mind that bottle, love
It's blue, and labelled 'poison'
'Not to be taken!'
Hate poisons the mind
But love transforms memory
Washing pain away
Lust
Your indentation
In the bed clothes next to me
A slight hint of lust
You sat next to me
Could feel your warmth, energy
Lust began to stir
After all the lust
Lay awake smiling, thinking
About the next time
