   Oh, I like this. It can be read from many different emotional angles.

   Magdalena; to your fine lines, my humble response.
   
   words ablaze...
   she quenched the whirling flames
   with tears

   Wet twigs in fireplace
   your letters burn quite slowly
   cold chill lingers on

   I enjoyed the ambiguity.

   Hello M!
   
   Your latest Haiku TW is a powerful haiku which found a resonance in my heart.
   
   Am forced to share my own Haiku somewhat on similar lines.
   
   their eyes met
   Fourteen years of silence
   a fossil flower
   
   Plz comment on mine too.
   
   Best

   darken fireplace-
   soot stained fingers
   sift through letters ashes

   Magdelena - This one is perfect. I have read it four times and find that it means something a bit different to me each time I read it. That is the power of haiku! And you are quite the artist! :)
   Thank you for sharing your work, please keep it coming. -Felica Sah

    Manu Kant,
    
    Maybe the 1st line for a specific meeting?
    Make it fourteen, & perhaps bring in fossil flower more,
    
    for example...
    
    museum meeting-
    fourteen years of silence
    in a fossil flower
    
    Coincidently, here's another "fourteen"
    
    fourteen summers
    the glue remains
    of a paper heart

    manu, interesting concept. i'm the romantic, after a moment, the years do fade. are you saying her(flower, one of the participants) beauty has been well-preserved, and she's just as lovely as ever. rather than telling(met), bring it to the present. concerning your (moment), i've been there.

    fossil flower--
    our eyes embracing
    after years of silence

    I love this haiku. It speaks to everyone.
    
    after sixty years
    an email and faded photo
    of the two of us

    sparks of light
    burning love letters
    your shadow on the wall

    Hello Richardson!
    
    Among many things that I meant 1 was definitely that like a fossil what is gone is gone forever... atleast in my case I found out that a relationship couldn't be revived though memories were there... just like a fossil
    
    & flower in the 'fossil flower' means that fond (flower is lovely) memories or lovely memories will forever remain.

    manu, there are at least 2 ways of perceiving fossil. 1. life ceased, impression remains; 2. life isn't extinct(i like extant); youth, a faded memory. "couldn't"? there's wouldn't, didn't, & shouldn't; in each, memories persist.
    it is said, "one can never go home"; i say, at least try. manu, forgive the speculation; a mind does wander.
