Love: A Haiku Sequence Poem by Ram Krishna Singh

pre-morning mushrooms
blooming on the pubes:
dreamy arousal


love-making
he melts into her
time stands still


love-making
the sound of orgasm:
Lao Tzu


making love
she tastes the salt upon
his shoulder


candling in vein
leaves marks of teeth on her neck
utters holiness


unzipping her back—
hundreds of nights grow wings
with wasp touch


unclothing
the white night:
lips meeting lips


writes with strands of
watery hair on herbare back
a love haiku


after the tumble
buried between the sheets
leftover passion


she departs
leaving behind her clothes
over mine


still lingers
her scent on the linens
drying in shade


- R K Singh
