I love this. It's a haiku (that breaks the rules of haiku) and it's sensual. To be able to strike the romantic heart strings in only three potentially ambiguous lines is the honey of poetry. This is outstanding work. Most haikus miss the mark for me. I usually can not stand them. Okay actually I loathe them to me they are the pretentious mess that many people mock poets with. Yet every once in a while something like this comes along. Certainly you did not follow the syllable or nature rule (though the nature rule can be argued), yet you created an exploding passion in a few lines. Brilliant!
BRAVO!
