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.
