You showed up again
Your eyes were blue
I knew it wasn’t you
But even so
You were excited at the notion of seeing me later
And that excitement caught on my ragged heart
A faltering, flittering warmth from a lifetime ago
But it still wasn’t you
Cuz your eyes were blue
~S.L.

Journey of a flame
Torrential currents Burning, scorching, stripping bones, Leaping from her eyes. ~ S.L. Written for the Quadru-Haiku Challenge! Until now I never realized how challenging it is to title a haiku. I’m like: there are so few words already, I don’t want to give it away! Haha Anyway, hope you enjoyed. Please comment your thoughts :) Thank you for reading!

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
