Verse: Webs

I watch
helpless as
you engrave me
with your lapidary lips

embroider me
with a spider web
of sweet saliva
upon my belly

and I shiver
as you whisper
in my ear

'Maybe
if I put it
this way
you'll understand

ecouter
et repeter

Je suis
tombe en amour
avec toi.'

Haiku: Mad moon

Lulled by countless stars
but how can I find sleep with
the moon in my bed?

Haiku for the moon

(Inspired by @Zamees, which is to say I stole words...)

My advice is to
ask a question, shake, and then
wait for a response

I could be wrong but
I think maybe the moon is
toying with me now

Haiku 12 + 13

Once upon a time
I was seduced by the moon
now I cannot sleep

If my verse should seem
overly romantic then
blame it on the moon

Haiku 11: Ray's Blues

NB: I stole these words from @rayonativia and rearranged them into a haiku. I hope he forgives me.)

Would you look at that
sitting and doing nothing
that arrogant moon.

Haiku 10

Go and tell the moon
that I am sorry but I
could not hang around

haiku 9

You cannot possess
a heart any more than you
can possess the wind

haiku 8

Lover, have you been
up all through the night just to
sing the moon to sleep?

haiku: insomniac

The moon is keeping
me awake all night with its
incessant longing

Haiku trilogy

the anxiety
of your prolonged absence is
broken by your kiss

how was it you were
able to find me when I
do not sleep, I dream

I tried to resolve
the question of love and found
the answer is you
