Haiku melt

As the heat melts ice 

The nature of your love told

Your eyes form ice storms 

 

A seed under ice 

Is still a seed of hope 

Belief must not thaw

 

Spring brings with it love 

lovers refresh sighs and longing 

Still winter for us 

 

Dry bones weep for flesh

Love compels sustenance 

nourishments denied

 

Wanton nights pleasure 

Lust clears by day breaks fading 

Light shows my folly

 

Sweet bird sings of love

At night the song seems sweeter

By day the croak jeers

This is FANTASTIC!  Very impressive.  I like the pattern that the inidividual poems create:  three Haiku, then two Senryu, and then a concluding Haiku.  This is an excellent reading experience.
