*******************************************
1 A Parents Wish (Tanka).
Pondering the time
wistfully lost together,
I rejoice at the
chance to once again hold you
close and proudly call you son.
*****
2 A whole Life (Tanka)
Morn's dulcet whispers,
a smile breaks the wind of woes,
secrets of solace
open arms would always hide.
Him, only him, a whole life.
*****
3 Faithful for the Journey (Tanka)
Faith, you confront me
with truths mankind disregards -
love's anthem repressed.
But you build churches within
my bleak soul; I sing, again.
*****
4 Introspection (Tanka)
The voids of hearts fill
only at the darkest hour
light seeps into eyes
breaking through darkness within
Finally one and complete
*****
5 Light of Compassion (Tanka)
These hands deal comfort
as blue eyes fall to sickness,
whispering joyful,
medicine; compassion reigns
true, from the heart of a nurse.
*****
6 Passing Obsessions (Tanka)
Passing obsessions
mysteriously connect
to the universe
synthesized so randomly
until order is achieved
*****
7 Peace (Tanka)
along a stone wall
grows as if it were grapevines
a hand tired of life
just stretching to reach the skies
to later, give fruits and wine
*****
8 Real Love (Tanka)
Heart of precious gold,
gentle eyes of loyalty,
soul of innocence;
an unconditional love
that burns an eternal flame.
*****
9 Soulmates (Tanka)
Everlasting love
forfeits selfish sacrifice
of worth, giving hearts
a renewed utopia
bound by intertwined essence.
