senryu # 637


she is defrosting
encircled in my embrace
we wait for nightfall

When some people hug, they transport a person to a wonderfully peaceful place. This hug hints at a passionate evening in store. Good one. Lydi**

Touch is healing
It’s not always erotic
They say people that touch daily hug kiss hold hands shake hands live longer than those isolated
It warms the heart
Love the write Jacob

A warm, loving embrace will always thaw the ice cold heart. Sometimes it’s all we need. Just a little display of affection to let us know we are wanted and needed. Nightfall would soon become a blazing fire of passion. Excellent senryu.

The ice is melting. This senryu speaks to me of warmth and future possibilities. Embraces are romantic. Turn up the heat J, winter is cold. Lovely senryu.

It sounds as though what will be will be, and it probably won't wait for nightfall.

I had that single by Doris Day....long time ago...Que Sera!
Your romantic is peeking out dear Poet. Love the anticipation for nightfall.( Alternatively, you could always put on some mood music and opt for a nooner) ;-).

Mood music? How about Back in Black by AC/DC?
Defrosting, as in warming up, finally one has returned the affection of the other. And the two join in an embrace before night comes and they learn of what to do next.

A short, romantic and comforting senryu.
Thank you for sharing your work, author Jacob.
