What’s In My Stomach: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

The knots in my gut/
from waiting and storytales/
are not butterflies.

At The Center Of The Universe: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

Life IS about me./
I tried to make it about/
her. She won’t let me.

Photos of flowers./
I’d send them to her. But she’d/
think they’re for others.

I’m intense, but get/
less so. She’s shy, but blooming./
Will we middle meet?

It’s weird to learn she/
doesn’t want to be “We”. I/
didn’t know we were.

OR
It’s weird to learn he/
Facebooked that they are “we”. She/
didn’t know they were.

Even the worst case/
scenario is better/
than knowing nothing.

You ask for romance./
Should I take a chance with a/
sweet verbal caress?

I am enamored/
of you now. Thus, my world is/
changing rapidly.

Please cancel any/
reservations about us./
Make fantasy trips.

From whence/
cometh the silence?
In the uncanny quiet/
that lasts the night,/
I wonder where your smile went.
