Tanka

Phonetics of hurt

Brimming passionately
Tears

Cascading my cheeks

Hope drowns blinding my
Visions

Heaving sigh crushing my chest

This as traditional TANKA as possible

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
