My second Haībun at the Līgo Haībun Challenge. Go there and check it out. It’s cool stuff.
Her bouquet is that of fresh flowers, of lily in the valley and roses. Like that of a garden after spring rain. Her presence fills him with an urge to reach out and touch her smooth alabaster skin, to kiss those vermillion lips, and make her giggle with joy of their togetherness. But the chasm dividing them can never be bridged. He is immobilized by her eyes focusing on something that’s never him. And the yearning never shows on his stern face that is forever shadowed by her bright presence. They are forever doomed to stay in their parallel lifelines.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
what a beautiful description
Thank you 🙂
What a busy community Ligo is.
Indeed 🙂
i agree. the descriptions are so very beautiful. lovely words, made me smile… even though the ending’s of course, bittersweet. 🙂
Thank you. I think we always go on parallel lifelines, and never meet.
This is tragic-comic paired with the mannikins. Good one.
It was the best story I could conjure out of that picture.
Was the picture the prompt, then?
No the picture is mine.. 🙂 but they grew together kind of. Prompt is bouquet of flowers
I REALLY liked your picture.
Lovely …. lovely …. lovely !!!

lovely poem
His sad situation is touching indeed..a lovely haibun
Thank you. Even a mannequin have a tender heart
yes, in a poet’s world, everyone has a tender heart indeed:)
Hehe! Makes me want to read another about him and his hardbody. 🙂 What a huge chasm a foot can be! But then sometimes we are touching and the chasm is wider still.

A haibun that is deeper than first appears to be. Visually and metaphorically very clever
