Heat Haiku..as in William Hurt..

                 Sharing with  Haiku Wednesday and recuerda_mi_corazon

Sensational Haiku WednesdayGoyocombinghair300_jpg_w300h416rs3

For some reason my mind went directly to the movie "Body Heat" with William Hurt and 
Kathleen Turner, a re-make of "Double Indemnity", I believe.  There is a provocative scene with them on 
her terrace, similar to the one below, only dozens of  wind chimes are tinkling eerily as in an Alfred Hitchcock movie..





Approaching the night
 deep layers of orange blossoms 
fuse with linen scent


Lit paper lanterns
sway in the nocturnal breeze
glass capiz shells chime

Sultry daphne pairs 
with summertime soft blue notes
body heat rising

Waltzing me around
beyond the fountained terrace 
under lunar beams

Pool water ruffles 
touching places in my soul 
borne of the season

    What a composed and beautiful set of haiku, and the photo is like a dream, luxuriant and beckoning.

    And there is that "body heat rising" right in the center of it all. Oh, delicious!
