Night sky, glowing blue
Essence of colors feels true
I bathe in the light
Down in the field watching close
Hoping for a miracle
Glowing Blue (a tanka)
tanka
Moon Kisses (a tanka)
Liquid moon kisses
Soft and sweet, bitter defeat
The goddess retreats
She takes what she wants from me
Then leaves me begging for more

Final Breath (a tanka)
Fire falls from the skies
Doomsday is here, we’re ready
Accept bitter ends
Whisper prayers, dream of death
Let go of the final breath

Destination Unknown (a tanka)
Merging of dark colors
Sleepwalking on wintry road
Dead trees and dead leaves
Gray and blackness of my dreams
Destination is unknown

The World is a Mirror (a tanka)
World is a mirror
Stare back, see the beautiful truth
Reflection is you
Give hate and get hatred back
Give love and feel the warmth
Share this:
No Color (a tanka)
Chance at redemption
Every day, new journeys
But desire is gone
Replaced by resignation
Life as drab with no color
Share this:
I Hate Summer (a tanka)
Man, I hate summer
And days of oppressive heat
Give me winter cold
I’ll grab a blanket, warm drink
And hibernate for dark months

To my Future Self (a tanka)
To my future self:
Keep looking at positives
Things can change quickly
Just when it seems the darkest
Brilliant light begins to shine
Share this:
Tortured Spirit (a tanka)
The ghost in our house
Tortured spirit roams here
In a long white dress
Yearning to be free and out
Of her purgatory life
Share this:
Depression is a Thief (a tanka)
Depression comes fast
like a thief in the dark night
breaks into a house
steals your sense of sanity
robs you of all you hold dear
