burning flame
he feels its gentile touch
visiting her grave
“I am the flame and I am the dry bush, and one part of me consumes the other part” (Khalil Gibran)
burning heart –
reading all her letters
sobbing

Really loved your haiku here — and you could not have picked a better painting to illustrate them. A wonderful look at love’s flames — what more can I say besides “wow”?
And I can just say thank you 🙂 I saw the quote as the burning flame of love consuming a lost heart.
Wow! That’s real love … an awesome painting to go along with your gorgeous haiku Bjorn.
Heartbreak haiku !
you succeed with both of them
Wonderfully crafted and illustrated with van Gogh.
Bjorn, Lovely though sad piece, and a fitting painting to accompany it.
These words are burning with emotion.
those tangible reminders of them once they are gone
they will get you every time….
Very emotional!! And I am so proud of myself as I thought the painting looked like a Van Gogh, an it is! A fascinating man.
You’ve given a story to the painting, using just a handful of words.
Crimson Flame
This haiku is really fantastic and the painting underscores it so well.
