Johnny Cammish

A series of Haikus

Sorry I assume
We could be something more
Perhaps we can’t
 
I always have hope
Alternating with despair
And feverish dreams
 
In the end I’ll stop
Though hoping or despair
I’m really not sure
 
Certainty is just
Anathema presently
I’ll make do with doubt
 
However, we kissed
And doubtless I hold no regret
Knowing your beauty
