a tryst indited in senryu

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

a tryst indited in senryu



second degree burns
from your consummate  kisses
lips don't want to heal



exploratory
arriving at your neckline
advancing to depths



the maneuvering 
balanced near the precipice
i fall into you


sighs and cigarettes
smoke rings of contentment waft
moments replayed

Great senryu!
Those short form are fun to write in aren't they?
I liked the idea of a senryu sequence on a romantic tryst. It was kind of like a super condensed mini series.
I got a sense of playfulness from this poem, along with tbe passion, so there was a sense of lightness to go along with the heavy petting.
