Notes About The Poem

Sweet Oblivion

we're so out of touch
there's no life outside our sphere~~~
hands touching bodies

time hushes to hear
expressions of love's longing~~~
nothing else exists

surging while merging:
two bodies becoming one~~~
sweet oblivion

Hello, dear one. My birthday isn't a happy one this year. My husband is away in the States and my daughter in Hungry. I'm all alone. :( I hope you have a great Bday celebration! You deserve it. Thanks for being who you are...and for your friendship. Hugs

All three senryu are to my liking, Eileen; they follow a pattern which traces a touch, go and flow transition. hugs // paul
