so patiently does
oblivion wait for me
as I wait for you
.
bravely tempting – fate!
come and catch me – I’m calling
time through your fingers
.
shadow existence
oh – come again in a breath:
gone in a heart-beat!

WOW! Each is a gem and together they reveal a waiting death.
The last two lines “come again in a breath, gone in a heartbeat”, capture the deathly wait. great composition
I love the words you used for this piece… oblivion is a favorite… 🙂
I’m writing my haiku heights on my blogspot blog.
