WHISPERS - The Seed is Planted

Some of my Haiku below and a verse about Happiness that is lost...
 "Othello and Desdemona" by Alexandre-Marie Colin, 1829

___
The tremors of your whispers
Resonates still in my broken heart
With sounds of shattered glass
_____

THE SEED IS PLANTED

Dew drops, settle softly on the lips
Of  evening star
Love, flowers
________

Do you still think of me
Some times; when ocean scent
Caresses your lips
____



How to save a drop of Happiness from Drying Up

As time takes it toll
People drift apart
As life takes its turns
Spiraling friends away
As the present walks into unknown future
Given enough space
Belongingness too fades away into memories of past

In the sands of time
Then
To save a drop of happiness
From drying up
Drop it
In the sea of the togetherness
That was,
That is and that will be
