Tanka
Unutterable yearning
in pursuit of happiness
always on the way…
a wave which comes back
dashing against the rock.
Day after day
a yearning in my soul
a calling…
this lime in blossom
only in my day dream
deep in my heart
my dreams are more acute
a remembrance?
I still feel the thrill
of the gentle touch
Birds of passage
stopped from their flying…
pure thoughts
in the fragrant chalice
of our hearts
Still of the night
between crickets and stars
a roving yearning…
always looking for love
but nevermore with you
