What is a haiku?

What is a haiku
When robbed of structure
Lines and syllables
That differentiates it from
A non-haiku?

What is a poem
Written for happiness
For the winning of award
When poems are born
In the the sorrows of the mind?

What is love
When it is found in
Every nook and corner
Giant teddy bears
Melting chocolate
Dying flowers?

What is a life
Deprived of all cravings
Reduced to moments
Following a pre-decided upon path
With a heavy heart?

Who are you
When you take what isn't yours
From someone who isn't yours
And give nothing at all
In return?

What are these words
I leave behind
Never to be read
By the one person
I have dedicated my every word to?
