Love Haikus and Senryus
~By Melissa Long-Monette


Soul Kiss Senryu
                                        
I shall breathe you in
savour your heart's quintessence
and never exhale



Moonlight Serenade Haiku

Moonlight is dancing
upon lover's silhouettes
love song from heaven



Perfect Kiss Senryu
                                     
Synchronicity
one moment of perfection
when our heartbeats kiss



Love's Invitation Senryu

Your fingers trace me
as your eyes drink in my curves
you ask without words



Wedding Senryu
                                    
Two hearts joined as one
wedding vows sealed with a kiss
one perfect moment



Rain Dream Haiku

Soft rain serenades
filling my soul with rapture
as I dream of you



Heart Eyes Senryu
      
See not with your eyes
but look at me with your heart
feel that I love you



Kindred Kiss Senryu
                    
Two lovers embrace
true love's passion in a kiss
a taste of heaven



Soulmate Senryu

We are dreams awake
And I am your reflection
you are my mirror


Beautiful Kiss Senryu
                                    
Entwined hearts shall sing
love's splendour in a soft kiss
two souls left breathless




*****A Haiku and a Senryu is a Japanese form of poetry consisting of three lines with 17 syllables in total; The most common format is 5-7-5 syllable lines.
Haikus are nature themed.
Senryus celebrate human behaviour OR tend to be cynical/ironic.

harummpphhh - you write poems for 'Deer and I'm left out in the cold.  You could dedicate the Soulmate senryu to Balladeer, but I'm not sure you want him as a mirror.  Just ask Dorian Gray. lol

Your senryus and haikus are exquisitely written.
