On a waning night <br />Sadness kills the growing moon <br />Regret kills moonlight <br /> <br />In ease of tired sleep <br />I prevent a lively dream <br />From hazy eyes deep <br /> <br />Holding on to props <br />I lag over my speedy youth <br />And the musing stops <br /> <br />In my aging hands <br />Griping a fading fabric <br />I discard silken strands<br /><br />Seema Aarella<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jaded-haikus/
