Winds of Love

Once, the soft whisper
broke my wings
blew me away
extinguished my flame
left behind pearly teardrops.

Now, it hits even harder but
takes me high
fuels my desires
enkindles the flares
leaving behind fierce feelings.

Twilight

crepuscular rays
popular daze of blue streaks
musical light show
stellar stars steal the party
as pendulous pearl proceeds

This tanka depicts the twilight scene when crepuscular rays take control of the sky after the sun sets. Alongside the chirping music of birds and the dynamic shades of light rays, stars arrive stealing the show with the moon that appears as a pearl in an unseen pendulum.

Desire to Discover

we become artists

remembering we forget

artistic life bits

drills desire to discover

lively elements of art

Runaway Rabbit

waft of swishy wind
fluffy curls of wispy clouds
flamboyant bunny

rushes on the sky canvas
only to obliterate

Midnight Graffiti

hypnotic beauty
feeds my hunger in dark dome
one cold winter night
pulling me to a new world
immersed in her wilderness
