walking
in a #wuthering wind
alone
connected with woe
across a lifetime of hurt

#vss365 #tanka #NaTankaMo #MayTanka

I #fell upon
a wellspring of quiet
contemplation
mist flows gently
like music amongst trees

#vss365 #tanka #NaTankaMo

sleep comes
#redolent of rain's grief
surviving beyond
the rise and fall of the sun
brave comes at a cost

It's said butterflies
Are heavenly messengers
They gracefully fly
Emerging from chrysalis
To grace the lifetime of man

to breathe life back
into a devastated world
lives need hope

boulders that watch with disdain
slipping time & caressing water
on the banks of a calm river
are struck by it's restlessness in the rains
when it brooks no hindrance

Morning light awakes
The miraculous texture
Morning dew on grass
We stretch and salute the sun
Morning rituals fulfilled
💛

bedecked trees out match
an afternoon Sun
color for color
fiery chandeliers
winking the siesta away

After darkness
and invisible struggle
vibrant life
breaks through
keeping an eternal promise~

#NaTankaMo (honour)

We honour
the lives of others
by opening
a sacred space for them,
listening from the heart~

My last found lover
Can seduce like no other
Her special allure
Turns my awkward blue chatter
To slutty sapphire banter

My brave throat was in
it's xeric era of days.
Dappled with dearth drops
of precious body fluids.
'One more for the ditch I croaked'

a butterfly
holds the theory

Every scion has
A backstory, yet they'll still
Spin their tale thus;
And whistle past the graveyard
Of those that gave them so much

#NaTankaMo (31 May 2023)

A lifetime
or simply a day
with a deeper breath
watch the morning light
spread across the sky~

Lissome as a breeze,
she dances in opal light,
spinning out her dreams,
her beauty fills the night sky,
star that never fades out.

light, drops, diffraction
within wellspring of lucid dreams
garnet arpeggio
without hazardous leaps
healing bitter thoughts & their streams

In my darker days
When I feel the touch of woe
I taste the sublime
In loves protecting embrace
Everflowing peace is mine

wrapped in wistful mist
window cries for Chopin's waltz
and Sundays boredom
from time to time the Earth shakes
freeing scent from camphor balls
