TANKA TRIOLOGY
1
Sable hued skin glows…
My crown, lamb-like black wool locks;
my teeth, pearly white.
Ebony image—I am:
Reflecting my creator.
2
Restless water flows…
The wet journey has its course;
like life, it will die.
Rollercoaster run will stop:
Resurrection waits at sea.
3
Time waits on no one…
Sunrise is always somewhere;
the moon rises too.
Nature gives both their life’s due:
to die and live forever.

~Hear The Call~
(Free Flow )
Dreams of doom fill me quickly,
And overshadows my whole being
Thoughts as dark just come to be,
With impending doom, no longer clearly seeing
I feel so tired and so weary
All of sudden feel heavier on my feet...
Nothing to hold me, I can't take a step,
His evil presence makes my heart faster beat
I'm falling into a darker, endless hole,
And a fear like none other, raises all over me,
Where horrifying, undead faces my heart coldly grips...
He overpowers me and his dark riders creep on me...
The precious they want from me at any cost...
And the ring bids me to do his master's will, at last.

If we were like words—
Oh we would live forever;
But we are human—
God gave us the words—
That they pour out forever;
We are but vessels—
Words live forever—
Their begetters are like grass:
So be we poets—

gentle evening breeze
honeysuckle perfumed air
promise of summer
inhale of sweetness
floral scent of paradise
memories linger
stars sparkle down smiles
fullness of what is to come
moment eternal
Eileen Manassian Ghali
It was a warm evening. I had just come back from the office. I got out of the car and the scent of honeysuckle enveloped me in magic. It was one of those moments, that you can't describe....so rich...so...full of promise and life....a moment where you are lead to believe that the world is beautiful, the universe close, and eternity in your grasp. This scent brings with it memories. I was filled with bliss. I don't usually do haiku...but...here it is. I hope you enjoy it! Hugs
