nirvana
enlightenment in
perceiving one's existence
comes with suffering
of knowing one's nothingness—
reason to stop existing

Tanka – Loss
wail, scream, mourn and cry
sing me a song of your pain
hear the music of grief
where is the beauty in loss?
covet, for once, she had loved.

Chameleon (Tanka #64)
Tiny marble eyes
Visible like a radar
Grinning on the lush
The cutest bundle of joy
Beautiful chameleons

Wind (Tanka #63)
Rustling in swiftly
The gust fills my empty soul
Hustling through, sweeping
The gloom-ridden dark edges
Leaves keeping me warm

Tanka – Cricket
blue that fades to black
a cricket chirps in the night
hidden in shadows
stars chime and the moon's aglow
the night comes alive to music

Tanka – Spider
wee spinning spider
her webbing the line of time
laced with dew like pearls
the world magnified in spheres
I am caught in the beauty

Nurturer (Tanka #62)
Breathing blossoms, smile
daily at the nurturer
Kissing blooming lips
The petals touch each other
Crazy breeze pulps in romance

Olympus (Tanka)
Trees sway in silence
Summer's heat blossoms once more
Leaves drifts side to side
Melodies beyond this world
Blessings and curses, they bloom
The Greek Pantheon...

cherish
I looked at the bay
it glared back streaks of sunrise
a soul at my shore
the fleeting burn tells my own
I have known those eyes before
