    *******************************************

    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.
