I want to tell you a tale

Tell you a story

With my Haiku Poetry

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

We are the tree

Never alone but always lonely

In the end its just us, our roots and nobody

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

When the festivity abandons

You see the vulnerability

A single trunk in your gallery

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

Seasons come and then they go

Fruitful moments, colors and songs

But they are never meant to last long

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

The bark is left bare

With pathetic stares

And no admiration

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

Slowly the leaves start falling

One by one

Down to none

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

White Rose

Upon a bed of water I float

As my fragile petals soak

But I travel far to return whole

For no matter how breakable, I have hope

I will walk the path that is untreated

Rather than the one which is worn

I will choose the path which is guarded

The one no one chose

It maybe underrated and fenced

But I will know that I am safe

I will walk the path you didn't choose

But I wish the destination is you

Maria Yousuf

I keep my heart guarded

Censor every word to what is right

I don't want to be caught guilty when I'm judged

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

I am not a transparent crystal

You can't see through me

I am more of an opaque stone

You see what I let you see

I could have told you all so easily

But I'm glad you had to leave

I don't think I could have let you be

After all I could have revealed

Maria Yousuf

Encrypted Morse code

I tell you my secrets secretly

Send a Morse code for you to read

You read it all and nod in acknowledgement

But only I know what I have revealed

I encrypt my Morse code

Don't tell you anything at all

I encrypt it with antonyms

And spell it the other way around

I wish you would know the hidden note

Know what is spelled in decode

I want you to know but I don't want to say it out loud

I wish you would decode my encrypted Morse code

Soaring Wrong Winds

I'm at the edge of the cliff, ready to take off

I hope I don't begin soaring the wrong winds

Winds that I wasn't destined to fly with

Winds that weren't meant to elevate me

Wrong currents beneath my wings ascending me

I won't risk soaring those wrong winds

So I'll block their current or wait for them to pass by will

I wont risk gliding their flow to experience their thrill

I wont take that chance I wont take that risk

I won't let their allure drive me off the cliff

Maria Yousuf

Cause

My curls fall over my eyes

My eyes feel a bit damp but I feel no need to cry

My heart throbs a little, slightly wounded, hurt

It feels bitter sweet, more bitter than sweet

No apparent reason why or why not

Can you be a stranger to your own feelings?

Or are you capable to ignore and overlook them?

Can your heart and mind confuse your sentiments?

Or can other reasons cause such a throbbing ache?

How can they resonate the same way as a heartache?

I can't reach the core of the cause

Can't figure out why

I am happy but I feel a little prick

A prick that tells me not entirely

It never felt like something more then why am I sad?

Spinning crazy in your insanity

Mind stopping me?

This chair is beginning to hurt :S

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

I reveal history in dirt and bones

Unearth the secret of past lives

If only knowing you would have been as easy
