dreaming – night walk through
landscapes of otherness
your hand in mine
come, listen to heartbeats
feel my tune, see my thoughts

Tanka
Tanka: Enticing Melodies
green mead, frail blooming
birds’ enticing melodies
when you grasped my hand
dragging me into your dreams
swift overwhelming journey
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
