Sam Raj Poet Tanka

Images Tanka
-----------------

Night dark and dreadful
Emotions in black and white
Tears blinded my eyes
Flickering celluloid film 
Whirling projector my mind


Emotions Tanka
------------------

Tears like rain pours down
Emotions swaddle black clouds. 
Lightning smacks my heart . 
Died a thousand death tonight. 
Kiss of the cold feels so warm. 


Drift Tanka
-------------
Suspended like clouds.
My dreams drift, maple leaf.
Lift me to great heights.
Yet my emotions tarry.
Humbled by mortality.
