Everything in me

Pressed up to my edge, my spine

Words, feelings, glued, bound

Tighter, tighter, pull

Blood still flowing through my veins

Gotta make it stop

4 haiku for the prompt "binding":

1.

Threads intertwine, wrap,

Binding pages, stories, time,

Book's eternal clasp.

2.

Hearts bound together,

Love's unbreakable binding,

Two souls, one journey.

3.

Snowflakes, crystals bind,

Forming intricate structures,

Winter's icy grasp.

4.

Molecules bonding,

Elements binding in dance,

Nature's alchemy.

I open a door

My spell keeps what exits bound

Oh shit....it ain't bound.

These ropes wrap my wrists

My mind warps to some other

Who was not so kind

This started and finished in very different places.... not fully convinced it worked, but it's a fun morning exercise!
