Haiku: Night’s Clarity
distant tune creeping
into flesh, night’s clarity
throbbing heartbeat hurts
Tanka: Balmy Breeze
singing birds, sunshine
vibrant beams of intense warmth
fond smiles, tender thoughts
balmy breeze on lips, sensing
your gentle kiss, faraway
Tanka: Mute Utterance
thawing snow, moist eyes
stormy new moon, starry night
sensing your heart beat
remote caress, motionless
endearing utterance, mute
Tanka is a form of Japanese poetry, similar to Haiku, but older and consisting of 5-7-5-7-7 Syllables.

Haiku: Scent of Spring
scent of spring, birds’ song
gentle caress, warm embrace
remote reveries
Haiku: Your Smiles
your smiles showing up
like fond kisses on my eyes
through overcast skies
Haiku: Blue View
icy breeze on lips
overcast view, winter blue
remote kiss burning
Haiku: White Gloom
snow falling, white gloom
sensing your remote breathing
stillness of the heart
Haiku: Arctic Breeze
blue moon light, sad sounds
remote whisper, arctic breeze
forlorn in blank ice
Haiku: Haziness
softest kiss on skin
hazy touch of an embrace
still remote longing
Haiku: Blurring
winter sun on face
red retina images
your blurring away
Haiku: Hidden Words
no sleep, hidden words
silent nights, longing music
lost in remoteness
Silent Letters
wandering thoughts
abundant words
written to you
still unspoken
unsaid unsent
undelivered
silenced in stillness
whispering in vain
The Silence
We need the silence
to hear our voices again
Into the stillness vibes of your
strong arms around my body
tender fingers on my skin
a smooth breeze on my lips
Sensing a remote you
in our entangled thoughts
[Übertragung ins Deutsche:]
Wir brauchen die Stille
um unsere Stimmen
wieder zu vernehmen
In die Regungslosigkeit hinein
fühle ich Schwingungen deiner
mich umschlingenden Arme
zärtliche Hände über meiner Haut
einen sanften Hauch auf den Lippen
Erspüre ein fernes Du
in Gedankenverschränkung
