Love too deep, too fast
A dagger that strikes before
You see his face, whole.
Can it be a crime
If no one saw the murder?
Wounds can heal quickly.
Ashes are gone, now
Even the fire has died,
Dark, crusted pieces.
Just a shadow hides
In the corner of a heart
No one remembers.

[…] My second try at a poem with haiku stanzas! I’m really liking the dry, cut feel of them. It also helps me make my pieces less wordy. If you like this style, you can check out my first attempt at a haiku stanza poem: Kill it Softly. […]

I love how this poem raises the subtlest hint of a question to keep the reader going. “Can it be a crime
/If no one saw the murder?/Wounds can heal quickly.” This stanza, and the stanzas after, tie everything together so well!
