Kindness is a tanka

Kind is valued like

A tree midst winters storm blown

You don't need it till

The heat of summer falls down

And you wish for leaves above

Simply cannot go back to simple

Simple should never be a wish

Of any man or woman having left

The complexities of another mind

Instead

The simplicity of the initial

Infactustion of mind

Will only serve to prove what is past

Less never lasts

When you've had more between your ears

Or so I find

Light shift perspective

Lights shine

And light casts down and shadows out

Rain falls and fall falls all around

Until down

Here I quest to surround

And build myself out of

The things I do not hate

And never could

These lights are the same no more

Thinkers and the un

Staring into oblivion

Is neither night sky nor a fire

No burning in such a head to be found

Nor bright light of illuminating desire

Instead slow and steady

As a sunrise and sunset of this

And he could be your cardinal wish

With the ocean crashing sounds which are his

If you desire such noise

Heart sparks and wandering mind

It seems only natural

That when the tinder catches

And your heart would come alive

Your mind would lose itself

Heaven forbid

Just for once they are a two

Obsessive me

Roll a red ball at my feet

I'll pick it up unfailingly

Because I'm always down to play

When you roll a thought out and my way

I cannot help

But forever play

Amend me from my natural ways

Please

A warm breath for two

These other writers merely write with tongue

They lick and lay spit in your ears

Without even the pretense of a song

Warm as breath

Dry as cloudless sky

I breathe a word into two or three lines

And into your lungs from mine

Share a breath with me?

Once again

Bloodrush memory, a tanka

A simple thought of

About your lips near and now

Is all that I need

To go off every handle

In the department of blood

Aims

A man can aim in this world all he wants

Quit, fail, succeed, and cross

He can run, and run

He can grow, pretend to change

And even become his own boss

But the need grows on

In the heart of the empty

Between the cracks of unknowing

Where the weeds always grow

His desire itself

Can become the eaters to eat

And his stomach no longer

To be filled even once, because

A man can aim in this world all he wants

Reality

Waking

Is not

Sleeping

Just as dreaming

Is not being

(In full)

It just IS

And IS NOT

Anything more

Than at all

Listening is life

Grow sideways

I try

Not to age

But to grow sideways instead

To bring new life and being and light resonance

Into my ever heavy head

Creating shade and spreading out

Releasing all once worry and all the ounces of doubt

And to rest like tomorrow will be everest

Because in such an unforseen test you might just find out

Grow sideways my friend

With only you

The other night I thought to myself

How wonderful it has been to be

With only you

And to be away from a world of revolving screens

Where noone but me

Knows what they want

Except you in regards to me

Sometimes you shine, most beautifully

All the words ever sent your way

In a descriptive manner

My Saria found

Represent you yes

But are more than just that

They are the reflections of God

Which you and I both find resound

Your beauty is

Not your own so I find

My sweet embodied reflective garden sprite

It is memory and poignance and time and light

And your innermost being

As I've seen how it shines

And I love it

A cafe tanka

Bitter coffee is
Not a sign of purity
But rather remains
A sign of time and brown heat
Bublbling over till unend

Words on the shelf

What uninspired words of man

Could possibly evoke

A lasting change in me

None of these

There are none on that shelf

Which I currently see

Even the ones I once loved

For they are all just memories

Instead I find that its in faith

That its reflection within

Which makes the word most specific

And makes me relive it again

The Vision Of

I'm am called to speak

To offer myself

To embody to be

To lead

Only towards that which is Christ

And that which I always expect the vision to be

A place of true comfort and contentment and trust

I walk in that direction

Just because it must be

Always

With a glance at her eyes

I feel as it

I was floating at sea

Looking out only

Into the abyss of blue

When really all I needed to do

Was turn around and paddle with trust

Into you

My island of shattered green

Your eyes are more stunning than anything I could've ever imagined before

I am I will

The day I let myself be

After what I've already perceived

As a failue of being

On that day I will be someone else

Devoid of thought

And afraid of not feeling

On the day which I let myself finally be

I am I will

As I have never yet been

Free

Reflection in water

My half-moon heart

Shines less brightly without

The smell of your hair in my senses

The shape of your water in my riverbed
