They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.

Waking up Happiness a close distant friend I once knew so well Sadness, a constant companion that eats at my soul Why start the day

Lights in the Night Sky
Under city street lights Standing on the sidewalk of a lonely concrete bridge Silently I gazed down at the water and pondered my life currently not so bright

A Silent Peace
I shall say nothing Though there be a lot to say Keep peace by silence **************************************** This haiku is for those who are screaming, ranting, and raving… internally … while trying to maintain silence to avoid pain, reprisal, abuse. The lover hiding the bruises. The employee paid too little and working too hard for too little appreciation. The child accused of a misdeed he didn’t perpetuate, knowing to say anything will bring only more retribution. The innnocent protecting the beloved guilty with stoicism. You all know what I mean.
