Five Erotic Haiku
by R. K. Singh
her disheveled hair
delight in disorder –
bittersweet flings
too inviting
her curvier lines –
décolleté blouse
lips to toes
searching touch all night
sheets flutter
on her back
write with hair a light poem –
weight of love
after a tumble
buried between the sheets
leftover passion
