Haiku of The Heart

HAIKU OF THE HEART Poetry by JULIAN BOUND

A love story from creation to realisation to heartache to recovery, told in the style of Japanese traditional Haiku poetry.

An examination and exploration of the emotional concepts of love found within the human condition.

From the moments of first awakening…

To encounters and potential stakes of a prospective lover experience.

To the perception and identification of love's bite.

To the joys and elations of awareness in another.

To moments of melancholic truths, and dissolving of pairing.

To heartaches involved; encapsulation of the heart and of the soul.

To the process of healing, footsteps taken towards eventual recovery.

To said recovery, regained fortitude of body and mind…

All in preparation of a return to love's tumultuous arena.

From the author of 'Haiku, A Journey Through The Deepest Emotions', 'Haiku Dreaming', and 'The Geisha and The Monk', Julian Bound.
