I don’t understand ~ what it is you want to say ~ but I will listen — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

where do we go to ~ when we fathom that our hearts ~ are not ours to give? — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Peeled
when you read my poems ~ they are unedited me ~ with layered meaning — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

he knew as she knew ~ that it would happen someday ~ but neither knew when — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
