Those bells cannot toll—
For desires and longings—
Live on forever—

Though old memories—
Have long tainted my new self—
Portrait of secrets—

Very nice, Jim. A haiku hiatus? (I like how that sounds) The return of the haikuist (haiku o tsukuru hito). 🙂

Well now I feel like a dumbass, I was at Nans blog and did a quickie haiku there, no one told me there was a picture involved. Another day, another stumble through the social gathering…
Nice job there Jim 🙂
