Still

but perhaps there is still a passion that will strenthen the flesh. pensive write, Chi...

Thank you, dear John. I think this haiku can be read and interpreted differently. My idea, however, was kind of a re-kindled secret affair. The flesh is always weak ...

That explodes...

That'd be great :-)!!!

i am still trying to decide how this should read.

is 'weak' in the third line meaning that the flesh isn't strong enough to say no to the asking fingers so it gives in and enjoys?

or is the flesh 'weak' and is pushed over and doesn't enjoy.

interesting write!

When this haiku was finished I wasn't quite sure whether to post it or not. I'm really glad you asked how it should read, Minerva. I exactly meant that the flesh is too weak to not give in to those asking fingers :-). Thank you so much for offering your welcome thoughts!

I'm reading this as - though you know the familiarity of your lover's touch after so much time together ...  You're still excited and weakened by the movement of his fingers over you ... Beautiful

That is a beautiful way to read this haiku. Thank you, Lobo. It's one possibility. And yes, what I meant is what you found in it, but I thought of of the concept "recognition". The spirit is willing (to resist) but the flesh is weak. I like your interpretation a lot :-).

this is the way i wanted to read it! :)

I'm highly content with your way to read it :-)!

Beautiful...the familiarity of touch, the sweetness of fingers asking, still makes one "weak"...so lovely Iris ox

Thank you, JeJe, you also read something beautiful into this haiku. And the asking touch plus the response actually is ... xo

Mmmmm something yummy
n very sensual here! Liking it bunches! :)

Glad to see you, Poe!
So, you detected
the sensual part of asking fingers :-).
Thanks, dear for liking it and for
your kind words!

A soothing yearn felt through your words...very nice😊

Glad you felt it, sadsmiles :-)
Sometimes it's too difficult
to put every helpful information
into just 17 syllables :-).
Thanks a lot!

well as long as
the fingers are
asking nicely..:)

... the response will be positive :-).
Thanks, Paul!

Have I told you how much you rock lately? Cause you do; Diva of the 17 syllables.

Right now you have :-)! Thank you so much, forever_young, you flatter me ... It's just that I love those haikus ...
