Love Again – A Senryu

Canva A small ray of hope Broke through, causing her to smile Sun would shine today As the days went on Life got better and better The past left behind Memories still there Fading a little each day Hurting less and less A new beginning Filled her heart with promise She could love again

What you do to me

A Broken Heart – Haiku

Heartbroken alone Hard to go on without you Life seems so empty Pillows drenched in tears Sleepless nights of reflections Emotional wreck Love can be blinding Ignored all the warning signs Feeling like a fool Paralyzed confused All trust disintegrated Friendship buried © 2012 Susan Zutautas
