feet buried deep

in the desert sand 

fading lights

this place I'll always 

know, as my home

Paper Airplane

Folding the reality
in a paper airplane
and let the wind carry
it away
far away
where nobody
can see it
nobody can
hear it

Dear Grandpa

The sparrows are quiet now and there is this emptiness in the air. A Lion has gone, a true warrior, a man of dignity, a legend, my grandfather...rest in peace dear grandpa  🙏

the petals of
bougainvillea
scattered here and there
it all seems dark now
even on a full moon

 

Tanka : Published in October 2021

 

running out
of ideas
I walk slowly . . .
watch a leaf going
down the drain

Still...

in the stillness of

 autumn morning 

the ripples 

of my questions

 in the lake

A Pine

a leafless pine-
some poems
are like that too
just before
they turn green

moonlit lake
the comfort of
being myself

 

ripples...
how predictable
the world has become

 

as if they know
all my thoughts...
cicadas
