You reached out to me
with your white enchanting smile
and devilish heart
I stayed up all night
reading your angelic words
stolen from heaven
Every thought I had
drew me away from wisdom
and closer to you
The cold light of day
revealed that you really were
a demon disguised
These Haiku (*cough* Senryu) can be read individually or as a connected series.
Secret Thoughts Within 
SO COOOOL

Glad to hear that Cassa. I’m a big fan of wisdom and have always regretted the times I have abandoned it 😅
