No sunlight today
Naught but a cloud
No bliss this day
On this day of October
The day you were born
Oh, somber Tuesday

somber sleeping of starlight sound

Somber Existence

Drowning in mad lies
The only thing left to do;

Find time before the night to play.

Dilemma

More than offered
Too long pondered
Sitting smiling
Happy yet somber
Risky relations
Offered not taken
Unconscious unbroken
Maybe mistaken

Age

you can still unload
and go after

and still do the somber
you will never fade
its just a number
all about

Shushing Serenade

She softly sings, soothingly
to the serious and somber Samuel
who safely and sleepily slumbers
to her sweet shushing serenade.

Tanka – Sea Slaps Shore

Somber cirrus clouds
gathered in tranquil blue sky
as boisterous sea
attacked melancholy shore,
slapping it with tidal waves.
