A Triad of Tanka V: Forever Her
That first piercing stare
Which shoved my young innocence
Into confusion.
Suddenly...my little pond
Was tipped into her ocean.
-------------------------------------
On the way to work
I would linger in the streets,
Shopping in windows,
Hoping to catch a shy glimpse
Of drifting cloud wrapped in flame!
-------------------------------------
The long road was wide;
But could not hold the whole World.
Though at that moment...
It seemed to me that the road
Desperately strove to try.
