I stand on storm-swept sands
Lashed by turbulent waves.
Salty surging choristers
Reach a crescendo.
I wait on the shore for my solo,
Throat open, heart ablaze,
Facing the waves.
I’m not looking for applause
I just want to sing.
I offer my heartsong
To the sirens of the deep.
Slide up, unclip, pull
Discard, repeat, now the belt,
I am almost bare.

You are almost there
Just one thing to go, is it
too much? No - guess not....
The night is an endless winding road,
And you are weary and travel-sore.
I will send you a vision of a moonlit lake
Where we can bathe together, gently embracing.

Sensual, searching fingertips
Slowly brushing parted lips.
Water black and still and deep
The darkest, most refreshing sleep.

We glisten softly
With the burning light of a billion stars,
Two hearts burn there too.
The night won't seem so endless
While I linger there with you.
She-Wolf

You keep me awake
Writhing ‘neath the moon, listen
Can you hear me howl?

He Wolf

I made you howl, *****
I’ll make you howl again, and
This time I’ll join you.
Yikes, full moon must have got to me!  :-D
I have such power
But wily Knight could take me
If he moves with skill.

You are behind me,
Where you belong. Careful now…
I can move backwards.

A pawn is in my path.
I can’t take him,
He is protected by you.

There is a way out
But I do not want to win
I want to be won.

Take me, game over,
I willingly concede, my
strong, sweet Knight, checkmate.
These are linked haikus/senryu's but I don't think the poem needs to be labelled as such.
Plenty of flowers
But very few bees. Poor drones
Searching for their home.
Sipping good whiskey,
Thinking of you, sipping me,
Let's find some ice cubes.
Is this a senryu...? I really struggle with the definitions!
