tonight, words fail me
because they can not reach you
as if autumn winds
blew them far away from you
somewhere never to be found

if only these tears
that I shed for you tonight
could nourish this soil
serving the weeds and flowers
this pain would not be in vain

As rain keeps pouring
flooding a river, nearby
it washes away
even the strongest of trees
how could I, rootless, resist?

casual moments
are what permeate my dreams
not fancy travels
nor expensive night dinners
just the two of us, alone

it's winter's last breeze
summer's damp air is coming
there is no spring here
no autumn's red foliage
just dangling between extremes

if only I could
have eyes like yours, oh night owl
then maybe I would
be apt to sail this darkness
and find my way towards home

Lonely wallflower
Hoping that maybe someday
You will glimpse at me,
Find me beautiful enough
To adorn your most loved walls

Oh, how convenient
if just the morning rooster
instead of the dawn
would rather merrily crow
at the day you'll come to me

I beg you, night sky,
to give me more of your stars
I've counted them all
leaning on my window pane
waiting anxiously for her

among boring talks
endless repetitive tasks
why are only you,
like small glimpses among clouds,
able to brighten my day?

Vega and Altair
cursed with a yearly meeting
yet I envy them
because not even a day
I am worth of receiving

Do you also have a blog with your really good tankas, because these are already really good in my view, so the others must be amazing! *__*
You are too kind :) thank you very much, it made me really happy to know that someone appreciate them

as seasons passing
patterns coming and going
and yet, still, I feel
I can't learn from my mistakes
my errors just piling up

and my light is gone
so now it's harder to see
but it is my fault
because I've become hopeful
when I knew I should have not

on barren gray skies
a small opening on clouds
is barely enough
to allow the sun rays through
and warm me this afternoon

as flowers can't grow
on these sandy desert soils
so it seems to me
that love also can't flourish
in here, as tears made me dry

it is when I think
a thunderstorm is coming
a small glimpse of you
is enough to turn my day
into a bright cloudless sky
