Haikus of Suffering

Haikus of Suffering Your memory rains Sorrow drenches me with tears. Crashed... last fifteen years. Now sixty-two... old. I have no young grand-children, but one abortion. She left, now alone. I never had her... alone. Stolen, by... desire. Gold, silver, bankroll. Shovel, seduction, harlot. Stolen by my lust. Best friend... ever had. Fifteen years of loyalty. Laid my dog to rest. Missing you, away. Another late night ... office. You sleep without me. My daughter grows old. I died for you to be free. She flew away... gone. Tears, empty, wanting. Hold, touch, hug, love, tender, want. Gone... lost... hate... anger. Longing... long-ing... long... I long... longing... for so long... very, very... long. by, Martin Braun August 24, 2023
