Haunted Echoes- entry #3
Reflective morning,
shaken off nightmare unveils-
eyes without a face
...
Author's note: My final haiku entry was inspired in part by Billy Idol's song Eyes without a Face.

You do it because you have to
There comes a point in every ascent when you realize not everyone is meant to rise with you. It is not cruelty. It is not abandonment. It is simply the truth of altitude: some people cannot breathe where you are going. Some people cannot tolerate the clarity you’ve earned. Some people cannot follow you into a life that no longer requires your disappearance.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Yes, really creepy, well done
That hard to shake off , scary image
Love this idea.
love how this piece blends music, dreamlike mood, and haiku precision. It reads like a snapshot of the subconscious.
If I saw that, it would scare the shit outta me, lol. Loved this!
Oooh, but I love your Billy Idol inspired haiku, Marilyn. Well done!
Wouldn't want those looking at me, Marilyn! Horrifyingly apt!
Great, the concept is perfect for horror. It makes me think of the classic "I have no mouth but I must scream," and you fit it into a haiku.
I love how you incorporated the song… creepy perfect
This is good for Halloween as well. Kind of a poem that once again makes one think.
Eyes without a face, super creepy, I love it!
