five haiku

five haiku heartbeat one

Heartbeat for my love
untold power inside me
Where will I use it?

heartbeat two

Heartbeat only exists
within me because your love
has placed it in there

heartbeat three

Heartbeat keeping time
to the knife stuck inside it
bleeding my love out

heartbeat four

Heartbeat to the pain
keeps rhythm of this sweetness
tasted bitterly

heartbeat five

Heartbeat covered up
false happiness painted on
my sad hidden face
