Bathing under the twilight!

Courtesy

 


Hands covered with ash
Thorn of the beloved stings
Aching soul departs
~
Tired wilted rose
Bathing under the twilight
Blooms on her tresses








This Haiku is written for the OSI and the Haiku Heights. The prompts are 'BATHING' and 'SOUL' respectively.

    Strong imagery there, transporting me to a place of anguish and sorrow. Filled with unspoken emotion.
