GRIPPING ROOTS © TANKA
 
Birds chirp spring’s sunshine
Rain showers the ground outdoors
Plants begin to grow
Gripping roots draw nourishment
Mother Nature's weathered gifts!

Pure white coats stockpile
And cold shouts a freeze
Daylights sunshine glare
Early moonbeam blights a kissing

In this cage there's no room
Dark all around like a cocoon
I wish to break free soon
Fly up up and away so high I can reach the moon
But somehow my agility
And overall ability
For unlimited mobility is affected
My freedom so highly disrespected
My limbs gripped by the chains
So...

Everyday, I awake, body as stiff as a 
     Board, or a slab of concrete.
     My kidnapper stabs at me all over, no hiding for me,
     So, I limp and gasp at my...

I struggle with you
On and off daily
Perplexed  
Moment by moment

You cause me grief
Tugging at my heart strings
Wrecking my mind
Battles with my thoughts 
Leaving me feeling weak, confused
A nervous wreck

I struggle to free myself 
To free my mind, my heart, my soul
To walk away from your...

Hands folding into grips
 Touch so soft
 Lips meeting
 Secrets unfold
 Under a spell to another world
 Like floating 
With fresh air
 Lifting above
 a emerald ground
 A satin blanket
 You wrap around
 Deep purple to violet
 A wonder of colours
 Surround my ground
 Heavenly...

In tender times we always live
the boundless mystery 
newly-found 
Regret returned
and now coloured light...
In this 
 a child shall hew a tender chain
On moving sands these
gripping views shall strain.....

He ripped his hand from her gripping grasp
Upon the reentry of my eyes
She’s taking a drag
On a lowly, loathed fixation
Yet his hypocritical heart hunts for it
But they aren’t conjoined ceaselessly
For my presence is an unbinding force
But if you love her
Tell her 
And hold her
Don’t let...

Into my heart
Plunged the hand of fate
Suppressing each beat
With strength and control

Now, if it beats,
It is the hand that permits
Allowing momentary flow
Total control of my being.

With short breaths
I seek to regain control
For naught, the heart is hers 
Her hand holds me, yet thrills

I’m fated to...

My loss led me to confront 
the consequences of my reckless emotions.

For you are still clutching to my heart,
 stabbing into my soul like that of a dagger. 

Please let me go 
and live out my destiny...

...Our foretold fate....

coupled in a kiss
of molasses: tongue senseless

Have a blessed birthday, Cherry, 
The talk tells a gripping content; 
The speech starts with a history 
Of poetry in brief statement. 

Topic: Birthday of Cherry Cadano (March 15)...

As the rain trickles down the cracks of my stained oak casket 
And it stains the fabric of my tattered shirt with the crimson paint they placed upon my lips 
The shifting of dirt can be heard in my worm infested ears
As the skin on...

Slip, please?

I’m high up on a slider
I can’t get a grip
I’m slipping, but
I manage to hang on.
I don’t know how
I should plummet
But I’m stuck and then I slide
A little and stop
The more I look down
The less fear I have.
I’m looking forward 
To the drop. To...

Too many listen and give in to domestic terrorism/
Home’s a wreck and terror’s risen for our children/
Most don’t inspect many carry on missing radicalism in their own colosseum/
No call to see ‘em no wall we’ll greet ‘em /
I’ll sprawl and take any call to free...

Creeping gripping fear,
Veiled by the sheets of the night,
Phantom stranger lurks by....
