Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #37910
The music beckons
Weaves its spell on two dancers
Eyes meet and we smile

Hands touch, igniting
as palms explore our bodies
Our arms enfolding

Heart beats against heart
We sway, limbs move rhythmically
I lead, you follow

Our souls are open
Briefly shared emotions
Remembered passion

Slowly dance as one
The dance of passion, love, death
Our joys, our sorrow

The whole world retreats
Like lovers we both dissolve
Only we exist
Haiku #37910
