If only I had
Basked in all your legacy
Before you were slain,
Gushing sap from your thick skin,
I would have cherished you more.

A tanka I wrote today after mourning the death of an old tree taken down in my yard.

Roses are crimson
But violets have fine hues
Others may glisten
But you make me light a fuse
When you show your true colors

What could have happened
if things had not gone this way?
Why keep wondering?
Why not get out of this place
and find out once and for all?

music feeds my soul.
stories lasting centuries,
somehow made my own.
no more than a few minutes each;
every second well spent, harmony surrounds me.

eyes, like i've seen before
chick, from the puffy world
lips, only sakura can tell
smile, freeze me every single second
sound, find it in savana
.....

i've been searching this for whole time
how stupid am i?...
no, how lucky i'm
it is you this whole time



From : your secret fans
To : my sweetest thing
this is how i love you, in the deepest sea full of lonesome without you,
this letter for the LDR relationship

Tongues of seethe fire,
Licks the mesmerizing sky.
Making majestic,
Flow of blazing twisting vines
While the sun sets sneakingly.

Water level rouse,
like a giant fountain, in
middle of desert.
Where slowly, my soul dying
Tho, floating in the ocean.
