In Another Lifetime

my throat growls breathless anticipation- - I open your note Never having heard your voice, I will choose?choose to love the way your thoughts vibrate along my sympathetic spine, the intertwining, inclining, irritating, yet, satiating flow of your verbs. perfumed scent wafts from tear stained pages- - euphoria trails Never having touched your skin, I will love you for the comfort tea of your purely honest soul. Even though, I may not call to mind a scent, the musk of your cologne, your adjectives and adverbs, dress and undress my day. tears flow joyfully- - perhaps in another life to be quenched I am ever jealous of your sweet wife, yet, I will always, for love which cares not for the selfish self, leave you happy in her arms. *Form haibun combining haiku and narrative haiku by Charles Henderson narrative by Debbie Guzzi
