He was and is a favorite musician of mine. I have wished the same thing. That there wasn't injustice in the world, that there wasn't cruelty and hurt. But if you really think about it, being unaware/simple comes with a price whether the person knows it or not.

rancid breath I fear
warming the nape of my neck
vampire's next meal

apples, pumpkins, spice
cooler days and falling leaves
ease us to winter.

Speak to the trees, they won't leave.
(It's supposed to be funny, but I have a weird sense of humor sorry.)
#vss365 #unearthly
An unearthly wail pierced the night as the young woman cradled the mangled flesh and bones in her arms. Her tears drenched her creation."Breath," she realized in a moment of genius. She clamped her mouth over the creature's mouth. That is the moment she became Mother of Monsters.
Haiku #267
Leaves leisurely fall
Slowly descend to the ground
Seek their final rest.

This one needs more work. Will have to come back to it.
Haiku #268
Overwhelmed zombie
Blast of healthy heartbeats
Pounding in his ears
#haikuhorrorprompt #blast #halloween #zombie #haiku #senryu #poem #poetry
Chaotic evil and not ashamed to admit it.
#vss365 #piranhas
If only I were brave. Maybe as brave as a goldfish that thought it was a piranha. Now that I think more about it, perhaps it's better I'm not.

Her happy songs sound like dirges.
(Poor nonexistent woman.)

desolate winds blow
harsh upon my weary soul
amplify my gloom

It's time to harvest
gather squash, apples, pumpkins
crunch! crack! walnut shells!

lumen of your soul
cocoons me in gentle warmth
power of angels.

Quilt sewn by fingers
long gone, but not forgotten
handed down relic.

Seek the natural things
Drink the water, breathe the air
Avoid cyber trucks.
(In my opinion, not the prettiest vehicle.)

Tumor in his spine
an ineffable silence
Still time does not slow.

The old scythe hung in the barn.
Thanks, I need to do more meditation, for sure. BTW, I also play the uke (poorly) I have a tenor. I need to get it out again, thanks for the reminder!

Noticing the ground
lit in dappled dancing orbs
their last summer dance.

Home is not the same
my eyes glance at the corner
.... to the empty chair.

Ink stained fingers write
deep into the listless night
thoughts before they fade.

When doves cry I think of Prince.
My mum's during their second bloom this year.

My cats charm me by purring.
Absolutely! Good work!
Haiku #253
Quiet, close the door.
Less noise, less stress... everything.
Oh agony! Too much!

The First Amendment
sunk by a heavy anchor
cast by vengeful men.

I've done counseling and am on meds.
I haven't written for about a month, sometimes I have this thing where I shut down, anxiety or depression. So I am forcing myself to write and do things on my to-do list rather than doom watching news.
If you do the shutdown thing let me know how you get yourself out of it. I'm an INFP.
