When Words Warm: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

Let my words warm you./
Let my verbs lift your spirit./
Let my nouns be you.

Relationship trust/
is built with time, together,/
tenacious trying.

I was worried my/
drool would tarnish her red shoes./
It wasn’t from crepes.

She tried to gauge my/
spiritual intelligence,/
but hers was messed up.

Maybe she didn’t/
want tamales, but to me/
they’re mu Bueno!

One goes to worship/
at the Temple. One sleeps with/
others. Such a choice!

Staring at a read/
screen, with no answers in sight,/
doesn’t calm my fears.

How much time did she/
spend on me? How much effort
did she spend on him?

When I see candy,/
I wonder if she also/
remembers my warmth.
