His twisted mad grin
Ebony hair in his eyes
Hums strange melody
He speaks to me now
In a voice velvety soft
I strain to hear him
"Sleep soundly tonight
But don’t forget it’s your last
I wish you sweet dreams"
Stricken by sharp pain
Weak knees buckle beneath me
Gasping and weeping
Struggling to breathe
I clutch at my gaping wound
Fearing what’s to come
Blood spills through cracked lips
Staining my clothes and my soul
His final embrace
Rain forming puddles
Reflecting grey sky above
No sound, except water
Solemn raindrops fall
Lonely headstone in the night
Sad and forgotten
Water trickles down
Through recent grooves etched in stone
My grave is weeping
Author notes
I had a dream about something like this happening. I thought that I would try something new for this piece. I write haiku for fun when I am bored in my classes, so each of this poem's stanzas follow the 5 syllable-7 syllable-5 syllable format in which some haiku follow. I'm not sure if it turned out the way I wanted it to, but it was just an experiment. I may never do this again, but it was kind of fun 
I tried something new...was it a success?

Magical!
I don't think it's sad and i don't know anything about haiku but i love the dark texture of this dream inspired poem, it's thought provoking, and leaves the reader with a strange desire to attempt an interpretation...it's magical, write all your dreams, whatever they may be...!

SUCCESS :D
Wow, I really liked this piece. It's really sad but at the same time, it's a really good poem. I feel that some sad pieces lose their poetic touch but yours didn't! Not at all! Wonderful!!
My favourite stanza is the last one though I love it all! Keep it up!
