.:Lime and Dates:.

My mask reveals truth

My veneer uncovers me

Don't look for a name for my facade is my identity

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

When I am invisible i' m most visible

Ill say and do things you might not believe

Ill be my true self when you don' t know me

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

I wish you could see me when I'm me

When I laugh and sing loudly

And jump and twirl like crazy

I want you to see me when my colors shine the brightest

When I am free and have nothing to hide

Limerick By Maria Yousuf

My presence is not forced

Leave if you please

I am more than the nothing you see in me

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

My First Love, Reading

My Partner in Crime, Writing

My True Love, Photography

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

All my life I spent in hopes of you

But by the time you came

My time had run out

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

Sometimes all you need is a good cry

To let go and bid goodbye

To empty your heart of its miseries and sighs

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

I wish...

My wish could become a reality

As soon as I wish it

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

Why is it that To those

Who matter most to me,

I matter none at all?
