Tanka (Reflections)   From the ceiling lamp An illustrious dove flew High quality marble It flew into the night sky And became a shiny star I sit in darkness Unburdened by ambition Think of peace on earth In a night of frost and clear sky I look up and see my star Towards morning light When stars pale to insignificance Hopelessness takes hold ‘Till the sun lights up the vale And warms my downbeat heart     The Love Story   We live far apart The distance is getting hazy My dearest love I can still hear your heartbeat In the stillness of the night You’re my love Green eyes clear as the ocean Tears like pearls My soul was transient back then My quest was worldly success Give me a sign Help me to see, I was blind Open my eyes So you can come into sight Before cruel time erases us     Tanka (Wikileaks)   We strongly believe In the freedom of the press As long as it Doesn’t print truths about us And endanger our democracy.     A Verse of Sexual Nature   If Julian Assange Is found guilty in Sweden Wikileaks will Stand erect as before Ready to penetrate the truth Diplomacy’s whores Pretending to be virgins In a sinful world Exposed as immoral tarts Venereal sores on their faces.     Tanka   The sleeping giant We unthinkingly awoke Is a dragon Seeks nourishment in Africa Too late to slay it now.     Tanka   The omnivorous Treated as a dancing bear Has the sharpest claw Doesn’t care for intruders Bellicose roars at prowlers.     Tanka   Curried red saffron Delightful mystery land Temples and dentists Snakes slither in grass though Lethal if you are barefoot.
