Charles Henderson Poet Haiku

Thinking of a Face

lover number one

thinking of a face
my love reaches great heights ....
I am the falcon


lover number two

bowed in purity
my ceremony of tea
I give willingly
there is peace to the falcon
as he sleeps upon my breast
                  

***The face of whom lover number one speaks can not
be visualized by the reader.  Rather only by the two lovers,
who know what she looks like.  So, it remains a haiku within 
a haiku, an enigma somewhat.  

Mar 4 2011 for Debbie’s haiku/tanka contest
