Written by Jonathan Ojanpera and Hastywords
his eyes spoke in verse
telling me stories of love
of another time
she listened in rhyme
heard all the stories he wrote
in case they were true
love makes it all fine
until there is nothing left
between black and white
his promises fly
slumbering words to the wind
if only she knew
she fell asleep loved
but he was already gone
when the sun had come
love makes it all fine
until there is nothing left
between black sketched lines
a message of salt
upon our pillowcases
it was worth the dime
the tears dry in time
on a tapestry of hope
leaving us a sign
saints and sinners
dirty as abandoned hope
let us marry the two
stormy skies will clear
and the moon will come again
chances we should take
saints and sinners cry
dirty tears of angry hope
weeping for mankind
the risk takers fall
mightily upon skinned knee
but they rise, always
I am not used to writing in Haiku but I enjoyed this duet with Johnny. He also does collaborations which can be found here if you want to give him another duet challenge. He also has lots of other goodies on his blog from Interviews to Photography. Thanks for writing with me again Johnny!

Now I know why I liked this one, and why something about it was familiar. I’ve been writing in Haiku for seven months now. After a while the pattern can consume you to the point where it feels like you are channeling. Check out my blog.
