The Rise of Love

Failure is trying
Why try to love what is lost
I will remain lost





I wander aimless
Graceless and foundationless
Sinking out of sight





Hope surrendered me
Darkness is overwhelming
Fear is all I see





I linger alone
Love sleeps with other lovers
But love is not dead





I reach out blindly
My lost hand is found in yours
Light can pierce my night





So this haiku series didn't turn out to have quite the punch I wanted it too, but perhaps you'll enjoy it regardless. It was a fun experiment for me to do, writing in haiku fashion. There is something about this Japanese structure that flows very smoothly and is a pleasure to write.


Hopefully,
