Writerverse: Two Haiku

[halfshellvenus]

For the writerverse prompts that match the titles.

~*~*~*~*~

Come With Me
I stretch out my hand
to your heart. In that soft reach
lies love or distance.

Combustion
Your touch heats my skin,
the silken torment of breath
bringing forth the fire.

Wow. I love how you put these words together. The poems say so much, so simply.

Thank you! I haven't really tried haiku much in the past, but there is a certain, spare beauty in what you can do with it.
