“Words”

Words

Words you will not hear /

ring forth from my fingers’ touch /

and my lips’ caress.

Photo finish Friday: “Clouds arch”

Clouds arch

White clouds arch upward, /

brushing the lips of heaven. /

Pleasantries exchanged.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Parting”

My heart jumps up. /

The elevator lurches down. /

Your lips part for mine.

Hiaku to you Thursday: “The kiss”

Your lips renounce me. /

Still, I kiss their feathered tips. /

The edges of flesh.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Wednesday”

If Wednesday were my /

lover, I’d carry her dew /

on my lips as hope.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Night kisses”

Night kisses my lips. /

Day whispers in my tired ear. /

Must I leave you now?

Clouds arch (amended)

White clouds arch upward,
brushing the lips of heaven.
Pleasantries exchanged.

[Editor’s note. With only a few words to work with, I decided I needed something a little more evocative than “the.” that lead me to try several things, including white. For the moment, I have decided upon white. But maybe you can think of some other work that might work better for you. Maybe, “the” works better for you. That is the beauty of writing: there can be variations.]
