My heart beats in time
to the rhythms of your scent,
and bliss fills my soul.
Guitar man, kiss me, strum me,
and make me miss you.

The Story Behind this Haiku

I wrote this verse in response to the prompt word “bliss”. This image inspired me. When I visit Pixabay, I often take time to do random searches as I find many amazing and beautiful images. When this guitar man greeted my eyes, the words formed on my computer screen. I saw his utter bliss for his guitar, for the sheer bliss of making the music he enjoys.
