Ecstasy revealed
Heart’s delight unleashed in joy
Soul’s blissful embrace
Passions burn, so brilliantly
That their light never goes out…

Passion’s Light
Tag: Tanka
Shadows of Fear
Fear of judgment lingers,
Tightly grasping what we know.
Letting go is hard,
Leaves no space for us to grow,
In shadows, dreams remain low.
Ethereal Harmony
Universal source
Where everything can exist
All at the same time.
Stars twinkle in the night sky,
Dreams dance on the soft, warm breeze.

Life is Too Real
Action takes the stage
Drama unfolding in life
Stories coming alive
Fantasy is all too real
And realities, unreal…

Touring Pasts
Freezing time’s embrace
Seizing moments in the mind
Preserving memories
Revisiting moments, gone
Rebuilding all the lost ones…

Cognac
Amber liquid swirls,
rich aroma, smooth and warm,
cognac in my glass
want to chase away the thoughts
instead placing the glass down.
Unleash Your Power
Power at your grasp,
Controlled strength within your reach.
Harnessing the force,
Can you handle the power?
Of a force that can’t be tamed.
Discovering Serenity
Seeking peace within
A gentle touch, soothing balm
Comfort found from love
Open your heart and embrace
The beauty of each new day
Emotional Pull
Drawn in by the pull,
towards a force felt within,
Gravitate and meet
Getting to know each other
Fully, deeply to our cores.
Missing
Something is amiss
It was missing in your kiss
No passion or bliss
The love we once shared, I miss
Now, all I do reminisce…

Flood
Torrent waters fall
With nowhere for them to go
Violent overflows
An abundance of excess
Severely needs to escape…

Tooth
A molar strong, firm
Chewing through tough, fibrous food
Incisor sharp, keen
Biting into life’s delights
Teeth, nature’s tools, serve us well
Wasting
Talons grab at me
Razor sharp ripping my flesh
What of me is left?
How much more can I give, till
I waste away to nothing???

Spirits
Spirits lift us up
Or they will tear us all down
Be ever cautious
You might end up facedown,
Choose wisely, my friend, choose well…

Trust and Honesty
——————————
Trust, never taken
Instead, it’s given freely
Shared among us all
Be cautious; don’t do something
That will make them not trust you…
