One Single Impression and Haikubones

Has it been another week already!!! The prompt from  haikubones is infestation:

(John's daughter painted the above picture on a whim.)

Your love was disease,
crimson, juicy, decadent.
magic infestation.

The prompt from onesingleimpression is hesitation:

Kiss

Amy Winehouse played
on the radio
singing "no,no,no"

I watched the curve
of your tanned face.

I sing along,
you smile,
I've never even smoked
a cigarette.

I'm stalling
for the moment
wonder if you know
what I'm waiting for.

Fiona Apple comes on next
and I cringe--
enough of these skinny girls
singing
being so meaningful.

Your lips tender
seem to hesitate,

I draw in my breath
across the universe
that is between us.
