Loss and Renewal. A Tale in Haiku.

Girl

Break Up

Wilting in the dust

Discovered in betrayal

Soiled love lies broken

Despair

Despair and regret

Spikes of loss puncture each day

A lament of pain

Autopilot

Mute, blinded and numb

There suspended on keen wires

Hangs my acid heart

Recovery

Gentle velvet tip

Soft green bud of renewal

Sees the world as new

Hope

I wait in patience

Hoping you will notice me

Behind my disguise

Celebration

I caught you, wild heart

Remote and rugged you were

Now you are all mine

Renewal

Truly do I love

Embrace and hold with full heart

New life in my arms.

love

    Thank you Joanna. I think we have all travelled that path at some stage, haven’t we? It is what makes us who we are.
