While The Sky Weeps Snow - A Haiku Cycle
He is coming now
Pale as white jade by lamplight
While the sky weeps snow
While the sky weeps snow
Shedding his warm kimono
His sweet skin trembles
His sweet skin trembles
Under the touch of my hand
Seeking there for spring
Seeking there for spring
My lips search his for kisses
Finding only frost
Finding only frost
My heart now fills with winter
While the sky weeps snow
Pale as white jade by lamplight
While the sky weeps snow
While the sky weeps snow
Shedding his warm kimono
His sweet skin trembles
His sweet skin trembles
Under the touch of my hand
Seeking there for spring
Seeking there for spring
My lips search his for kisses
Finding only frost
Finding only frost
My heart now fills with winter
While the sky weeps snow

I'm not a huge fan of Japanese poetry forms, but I can appreciate them, and the care and detail required to execute them well. This was very fluid, and well done.
