Cyclical: Series of Haikus

hazy colors swirl
reality redefined
a new beginning

calm chime of the bells
calls me, invites me inside
trap or paradise?

identified: thief
knives red hot, wound still gaping
hollowed out; nothing

repetition-sick
embracing ancestral fate
silent screams ne’er heard

endless starless night
corruption sings its sweet tune
humming at my side

hole dug, fill with ooze
seeps downward, fills all the gaps
poison stings, makes me smile

lotus garden wilts
petals rot, decay, collapse
light fades to darkness

stagnancy blooms wild
fruits of hope sprout from nothing
fresh nectar quenches

dark gives way to light
light is illuminated
eyes opened at last

I find these haikus to be quite unique. It's like each one has a hidden meaning and a story to it. Most of the Haikus I have read have no meaning at all and are just a bunch of words jumbled together to create three lines of confusion. Your style seems to make each haiku come to life.

Yeah, each haiku is supposed to be one particular point in the story i'm trying to portray, in a way its an short-term autobiography of sorts
