Good comments.
my point was that the person standing there nude
is not necessarily the woman of your dreams,
the perfect 10, the playboy centerfold…
nevertheless when she removes her clothes
none of that matters, you are in the presence
of the goddess energy she embodies
and you are bathed in the light of that.
maybe a little cliché
but after all, it is only a night vision.
;-)
Thanks for your careful and considerate review.
I like your style!

I take off my dress
you only see the goddess
we are bathed in light

This is quite evocative. It is delicate and sensual. I think it stands well as is, though I can never resist picking a little bit at haiku (and these are subjective, so take ‘em or leave ‘em.) I think ‘the’ goddess is a both tad awkward and corny/new age. I’d rather see it as ‘a’ goddess. Also, ‘we are’ is passive. Why not ‘we touch, bathed…’ or ‘we kiss, bathed…’, just something more active that doesn’t change the overall structure or scene. Well done overall.
I don’t ordinarily like a haiku to be titled, but this poem almost doesn’t work without it. The substance of the poem itself is lovely in the way that Rumi or other eastern poets of enlightenment sometimes are when they keep it simple. My only criticism is that this particular subject has been done a zillion times in nearly the same way. This is why I like the Title. It adds an element which might be viewed as skeptical of the poem itself – which lends it a contemporary air.
Powerful, sensual… nice piece.
This was nice, but just nice. Poignant and pretty – potential for much more. More descriptive words? see/bathed. . . maybe perceive or drenched?
the most sensuous haiku i’ve yet read here. nice.
like a diamond, it is
excellent image of self…
