Haiku Hearts
a collection of Haiku about the vicissitudes of love; love found, unrequited, and longed for ...
Learning to Breathe
heart beating so fast
how do I breathe once again
can’t stop this thinking
🩷
Her Heart
cannot breathe or think
her heart haunts my soul, always
cannot eat or sleep
🩷
Prayer of the Heartbroken
is this what love is?
if so I do not want it
take this pain away!
🩷
First Move
feel empty inside
it seems I am out of tears
will the pain pass now?
🩷
Hearts in the Sun
we must rise and fall
days in the sun and in love
we must fall and rise
🩷
Her Smile
she is happy now
tears will fade, my heart will heal
for she is happy
🩷
Wish Upon a Star
in that wide night sky
I see stars twinkle and shine
wish only for you
🩷
Reaching in the Dark
reach out of darkness
find me here, I will catch you
my heart and soul? Yours
🩷
Moon, a Matchmaker
silver moonlight shines
she waits for my lips on hers
two girls find their star

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Superb!!
Not a big fan of haiku, but these are pretty good.
These were all soooo beautiful! My favourite was Her Smile!
