sadness

Brief indulgence

when the days are blue ~ I may follow my heartache ~ for a little while — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

our sadness deepens ~ when even flowers are grey ~ in a world of pain — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

in your deep blue heart ~ you shelter sadness and pain ~ as inspiration — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

life is a mocker ~ laughing at our dire efforts ~ best to laugh along — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

these days of onyx ~ these days of ruminating ~ about what was lost

@ Haiku out of Africa

story of our lives ~ tragedy and comedy ~ so we laugh and cry

I did not realise ~ the true meaning of your words ~ so I let you go

I see the sadness ~ the shadows under your eyes ~ things should’ve been different

too many riddles ~ in the dark blue stream of life ~ too few lucid days

@ Haiku out of Africa

it was just last week ~ I too picked a sunflower ~ yet I got to live
