For anxiety,
try valerian, gaba,
or melatonin.

Kava kava is
also supposed to help, and
so is tryptophan.

You balance pleasure
with the pain of attainment.
I live through the sounds.

I forget that I
even have fingers when I
lose myself that way.

Playing puts me in
a meditative state where
I become music.

nice thought, great concept
only to be ruined by
extra syllables

unsung, unspoken
resting in silent graveyards
hasty burial

What the masses are saying:

bad haiku it is
while there is a strange allure
I'll not bookmark it

i did bookmark it

there is no despair
only a lack of feeling
dulled resignation

dreaming of a past
i try to hold on to love
slipping from my grasp

till predictably
as the common threads untwine
it breaks and falls

falls and wahses things
the rain is very refreshing
i look at the leaves

they are green and wet
the leaves are no longer thirsty
the clear rain has stopped

the sun is now out
i wish the rain was still here
the forest smells clean
