Inspired by Cpat Hair's "Illusions of love."

holding emptiness
something yet nothing at all
disappearing act

I'm really feeling this. The oxymoronic situation of lost love. Hope laid upon hope ending in nothing at all. Write forever..

Very nice, but, was the feel there? For only a brief time? Did your soul sing momentarily?..ahh, if so,then it is still a sweet memory of the good times..let the bad ones fade like all bad ones should..gentle smile

We must embrace emptiness to appreciate the fullness of life.  I like this one!

No wonder my arms are tired, I've been holding on to nothing so long, they ache!

This speaks volume!!!!! Great Haiku! Every word a  beat. No such thing as emptiness ~ where something once was ~ something always remains. Loved it! Love and peace  ((~.~))
