Love’s Finality
Relinquished myself as captive,
the handcuffs dig deeper drawing blood
dripping like teardrops from your lack of words
As the explosions of Armageddon wave around us, deafening
Shove my face into the dirt beneath your boot, I smile
At least a reaction, disregarding the pain
Violent outbursts of light flash rapidly
Before the darkness of peace
like falling asleep
Challenge
I just discovered a poetic style called the haiku sonnet. It is comprised of four haiku followed by a couplet of either five or seven syllables. Let's give it a try. Please tag me!

Humanity
The tattered man sat
Asking for work- not money
I spared a few smokes
He lost his home to
the storm swallowing in-lands
waiting on FEMA
Another warned him
he'd get arrested simply
for sitting outside
A business looking
guy asked for a cigarette
before I could move
the homeless guy handed one
those with less always give more
