mask of fear
cold as biting ice,
stills the lips
~0~0
we wear mask
like thorns of roses,
weary heart
0~0
face of faith
serene river edge,
one strong rope

Oh dear thats is my porblem I dont know about mascaras and I know many people use them but Im always the same maybe this is bad:(
ReplyDeleteI don't think that is a problem. If you don't use mask, you don't see the need for it. For me, that means you are brave to show yourself, a sign of courage, rather than a weakness.
DeleteThe fear of being judged and unloved makes us wear masks. Very nice set of haiku here Grace.
ReplyDeleteI like each one of them..I think life in its truest sense needs to be lived without mask.. but it needs a brave heart..
ReplyDeletenice progression in this...i like how the last is almost the opposite of the first...wearing masks like thorns...great line that as well grace....

ReplyDeleteMASQUE
masque de peur
froid comme la glace qui mord
apaise les lèvres

nous portons des masques
comme les épines des roses
cœur las

visage de foi
rive sereine de rivière
une corde solide
