The prompt from Haiku Heights today is Betrayal, rather a deep one. I have three offerings. Hope your find them interesting.
(1) Betrayal
Furious winds sweep throughdredges of your betrayal leaving me with calm
(2) Betrayal
His dagger-like words Pierce through my weak arteries And oh! How I bleed(3) Betrayal
Your love betrays me To gladly die by your hands In Caesar-like style Copyright © Celestine Nudanu 21/05/13I appreciate your patience with me as I catch up on your blogs. Thanks a million! Shalom
Reading Pleasure 
Powerful words!
Thank you so much, Kiru 🙂
You are right…words can be like daggers or fish knives. Excellent haiku!
Thanks for your excellent words, Rallentanda 🙂
This is a classic dear friend! 🙂
Oh Seyi, you’ve made my day 🙂
I’m happy then!! 🙂 🙂
If we could only learn well from yesterdays that have gone, so as not to repeat the mistakes…. We do draw on our experiences, at least I believe for mostly everything we write…you might enjoy this written for Alastair’s Photo Fiction:

It is hard to settle and move past a ‘betrayal’ when someone asks you not to contact them. So my play on words ‘Through and Threw’ was my way of stating I was infact moving on.
Peace and be well, Jules
Thanks for the wonderful feedback, Jules. I believe that it takes the grace of God to and a strong will power/faith in oneself to move past a betrayal. 🙂 I will check the link.
Woo Hoo. These rock. I needed exactly these poems of betrayal this morning. I’m glad I stole a second to look in on you.
🙂 Thank you, Alice. It’s heartening to read that you could not resist my; blog 🙂 Now, I’m being vain. Are you at Colorado yet?
I’m here. The sun is brilliant. The sky is blue with puffy white clouds. The leaves are colored chartreuse and lime. Rocks jut up through the soil like crumbling teeth. The mountains were brilliant red on the western slopes of the Rockies. Colorado. Color red. Wow to it all.
Glad you got there safely. What a poetic description. 🙂
I like the 3rd one best! It portrayed love as a strong element emotionally being exposed to attacks! Nicely RP!
Hank
I think that is my favourite too. Thank you Hank 🙂
Nothing hurts us more than the dreadful words from loved ones…
Perfectly true. Thanks so much, Reshma
I love the first, really great image of the wind blowing away the bad stuff!
Winds do exactly that sometimes, along with the good. 🙂 Thanks Gilly.
Strong ones here, well done:)
Thank you 🙂
Wonderful, powerful and emotional. Glad to see you are staying in beautiful form.
Thank you so much, Len. I’m also happy to see you here after a break. Thank God for little mercies 🙂
All wonderful but the first is great and the second is just brilliant.
Thank you, Brenda for the lovely words
Outstanding work! #1 speaks strong to me!
Glad it does, my dear friend. 🙂
Oh those dagger-like words, cut one deeper than any knife!!Betrayal
True 🙂 That is the more reason why we must be careful of our utterances.
As always Celestine, your haiku are exactly as they should be. elemental with flow and meaning, sigh! 🙂
Your encouraging words always spur me on my dear friend 🙂
Good to know Celestine, I’ll keep reminding you so you don’t forget! 🙂 xx
“In Caesar-like style” – perfection!
Thank you 🙂
Wonderful set. I especially like the second one.
Thanks, Parmis. 🙂 The second one is dramatic 🙂
priceless trio Celestine. betrayal hurts so deep!
Ever so deep, my friend 🙂 Grateful for your wonderful support, always 🙂
Sometimes words are more painful than a dagger !!!
Indeed. The power of of words linger on, but a knife wound fades. At best, you die and no more feel the pain. 🙂
very nice take on prompt all three sets took a nice turn for betrayal 🙂
Richa
Thank you so much 🙂
Very nice Celeste. I wanna do this. Need to get beack to my hobby 🙂
Thank you,Nifti. You are right, you’ve been missing for too long. 😉
i know it! 😦
I lovedd the haiku, esp the last one, to die in a caesar like style… painful yet subtle with so much love underneath
Thank you, Kislaya 🙂 I have always been fascinated with the story of Julius Caesar
All three perfect betrayals!! When it leaves you calm you have found peace within!! The first one answers all betrayals!! Loved it!!
Thank you, Nanka for your fine analysis. 🙂
Betrayal nicely done (kind of an oxymoron LOL) 😉
The 2nd one – OUCH!
Thank you, Rosy 🙂
Very powerful words.. I’m sorry I never come across you on the same prompts. any longer.
Thank you Bjorn. You’re right; this time I’m not participating in the Carpe Diem 🙂
Wow, I love that first one. The picture of misery, betrayal, and brokenness leaving you realizing you have absolutely no control over another person’s actions. So, there is an ultimate calm in letting go, just knowing that it’s all beyond you. All you can control is your own inner peace.
Beautiful interpretation, Henna. I could not have done it better. Thank you 🙂
heartfelt…deep…very effective….!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Jane 🙂
