Tanka 11

I ran from it all,
feelings that I thought were lost
you dredged them back up.
Into the twisted forest
they ventured on together

Tanka 10

The sun reminds me
of you, nostalgia for me
fingers grasping me,
into the soft warm embrace
too close and she might get burnt.

The night envelops,
face up into the cold rain
loneliness surrounds…
Has there ever been feeling
where this gaping hole lies.

You have to decide
now. That’s what they’re telling me
as I hear them there
setting up camp in my head
preparing for the long nights

There are so many
thoughts running around my mind
churning in my chest;
like a small cement mixer
in the place your heart should be.

These roots are so strong
here I am strapped to the ground
entwined by my thoughts.
But one can move freely when
they exist within the soil

We’re like age-old friends
cold fingers around warm drinks
Away from the edge
Through muddy depths of water
I see your hand reaching in…

For you to show me,
my mind acting like a sponge
I welcome it all.
Her heart dripping – leaves a trail
as she enters the unknown.

The daylight creeps in,
I feel your skin against mine…
memories return;
darkness enshrouding our moans,
a year bleeds into the next.

The road least travelled,
we walked on amongst the trees,
will we meet again?
In the abandoned chamber
your hair falls over my face.
