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.
SO COOOOL
