Dark Alleys Won't Scare..

Written for Rebecca's Haiku My Heart...


Dark Alleys Won't Scare..

Ah, she waits
in a dark alley;
headlights blink

Fake smile grows;
covering her soul
she steps in

A dark night
gives hope of a  day
children wait

dark alleys
won't scare any more;
Ah, she waits..

RS:)

Broad day light;
I choose to write a
dark haiku..

    The waiting would be the hardest part, I think...

    not even your precious moon appeared to lighten your haiku, but your love within remains loyal and present ready to rise.

    A beautiful touching short story....

    Took my breath away...

    Covering her soul she steps in.....and no darkness can touch the soul.. the luminiscent soul..
