Five haiku on beauty

I

watch the light, she said
I looked at her worn, bare skin 
watching it, I said

II

my eyes can’t see you 
my brow seems tired and heavy 
you surround my heart

III

what beauty is like 
no one alive can reveal 
it must be you then

IV

she said: I’m a rose
then she handed me a thorn
I said: you’re a rose

V

breathing, heaving breast
keeping me awake all night
dream-blurring beauty
