What is this HAIKU Images aside Peaceful vibrations When your WANTS are strong Daytime Fantasies When it comes to sex Give my best for YOU - Perfume filled bottles Forever younger The feel of your skin I wish I knew you It is not by chance I cannot grasp it You did start this fight We learn more from pain
It's economy of words
MAXIMUM Effect
I wish I were the great man
That you think I am
I am in-tune with nature
When I am with YOU
Let me be the ONE you need
When you need someone
I'm kissing you ALL over
In my private thoughts
I need your feminine form
More than tongue can tell
I hope I can live-up to
your IMAGE of me
'.
and some fine jewelry so rare
Suggest gifts for you
Even though you're a WOMEN
You are still my GIRL
The scent of your long fair hair
Loving Images
before I fell for my wife
Oh the shame of it
that our hearts have harmonized
On this thing called earth
What do you SEE in me dear
that keeps you LOOKING
When you COME to your senses
COME and heal our hearts
than we ever do from JOY
If we stay AWARE
disturbing no one around
and least of all me
A sweet morning kiss
A playful predawn exchange
Makes for a good day
Please turn out the lights
and we will snuggle closer
Sharing feels of flesh
Seasons come and go
Yet you remain like new dear
What is your secret
I now see anew
It sure took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes
This is widely known
If you do not get your way
There'll be HELL to pay
For the longest time
I have thought of touching
you in private places
My head is spinning
I toss and turn all evening
Since you went away
Through large glass windows
in the building next to mine
Your silhouette calls
My mind is not right
My soul is in a tailspin
Why d id you leave me
Horizontal girls
Blankets on a sunny beach
Sun tan oil fumes
Ignore ugliness
There is beauty in this world
YOU are perfect proof
You send me flying
My heart soars when I see YOU
More when I touch YOU
Watch your mind chatter
It often leads you astray
When it comes to ME
Life is bittersweet
and so is our LOVE affair
Just let bad things pass
'
Forget the mind-games
Let's not suffer together
Learn to LOVE instead
I am your soul-mate
Never to be a cell-mate
Let us get this clear
One thing is for sure
There's no LOVE without you dear
and no life either
Aging gracefully
You have been blessed by nature
To fool father time
