a soul mate in this short life
the search is too hard
my soul mate can now
drop into my lap i'm not
looking anymore
food for the soul
is music art and nature
the Divine's shadow
he was an odd soul
simultaneously cruel
kind and loving
the hands joined in prayer
pious at the church altar
black souls doomed to hell
An 'interesting' relationship, I fear.
ReplyDeleteI do not do interesting relationships anymore. I will only settle for something wonderfully sympatico now.
ReplyDeleteThe first set sounded funny... it's the story of my life. lol
ReplyDeleteThe other three haiku were interesting in themselves. Keep writing and give us more to read. :)

...love this. Poignantly charming.
Your first haiku? Lovely. I always tell my friends, the ones desperately searching for love, "Just sit and rest awhile. Let love catch up to you." It's the same with the Creator. This captured it, perfectly. Amy
