sleepily thinking of you
reaching out my hand towards
the empty place by my side
knowing your thoughts
are not longer with me
night
Apart
moon
colourless
so far, so near
lovers
apart
Tanka: Night Walk
dreaming – night walk through
landscapes of otherness
your hand in mine
come, listen to heartbeats
feel my tune, see my thoughts
Tanka is a form of Japanese poetry, similar to Haiku, but older and consisting of max. 5-7-5-7-7 Syllables.
Haiku: After Sunset
starry summer night
don’t you hear my song anymore
sad melancholy
Haiku: Night’s Clarity
distant tune creeping
into flesh, night’s clarity
throbbing heartbeat hurts
Haiku: Clearing
spring air, clearing fog
restless strolling through blue night
sharp vision, soft dream
Haiku: Setting Sun
setting sun, moon rise
walk into a wakeful night
silenced daydreams
Tanka: Mute Utterance
thawing snow, moist eyes
stormy new moon, starry night
sensing your heart beat
remote caress, motionless
endearing utterance, mute

Haiku: Black Night
new moon, black night chill
deep touching, close encounter
switching off the love
Haiku: Good Night
moon light, good night kiss
gentle embrace, tender joy
bittersweetest dream
Haiku: Moon Light
dancing through snow flakes
hazy moon light, tender kiss
a dream‘s melody
Haiku: Let’s Dream!
c‘mon, let‘s steal words
dance to starlight melodies
dream in black and white
Haiku: White Plain
starry night, white plain
winter trail, dark traces
walking through void dreams
Haiku: Crisp Dawn
blue chill, need to breathe
in a heartbeat dreams come true
crisp pink dawn, fresh tune
Haiku: Motionless
white flakes, motionless
blue erring realities
nightly melodies
