The goal of this Tan Renga Challenge #54 at Carpe Diem is to write a second stanza of two lines (classical syllables-count 7-7) towards the haiku by Ese. To make the Tan Renga complete … but this haiku evoked so many memories, I could not choose only one so I am posting them all.
Our host’s completion

and now my attempts:

lips softly brush my shoulder

You took me on three different paths – all of them beautiful but there was that intangible sensuality, making me return to the last one again. 🙂

Thanks so much, I’m so pleased you enjoyed this one…I like to reminisce of that gentle touch like wings of a moth or butterfly…in French I use the word “minoucher” which is a lighter touch than stroking…éfleuré describes it best but I can`t find the word in English.
