Feeling the haiku right about now...

You say you love me
Yet you beat me with your fist
This cannot be real

Till death do you part
This (s)kin you are not to touch
Guess you like them young

    So short, yet so poignant...
    Give them something they can feel,
    Mystery....

    blessings

    Dumb Question: what does the "s(kin)" reference mean?

    This 'skin' you are not to touch. -meaning you are not supposed to touch me.

    The 'kin' is in parenthesis to explain: the relation i.e.,
    family relationship or kinship.

    Then I wrote- guess you like them young.

    Basically saying in a way, I am your step child whom you are not supposed to touch...

    Hope that helps. :)

    That was deep, and in so few lines, touched on so many feelings. Great work!

    those are some well-crafted haikus. it's a gift to be able to say so much with so few words.

    love is not abuse
    it is the salve on tears to
    clot the soul's bleeding

    never forget love
    no matter the time of day
    love remembers you

    love wants you to win
    your sin in life is trying
    not to love again
