#Lost #LostHour #Moon #PhaseSudden #Tanka #Waking
A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Five points to this as stated thus… Five; to pick up things once falle… Four; to grasp all things from wir… Three; to greet, to cheat, and din… Two; to bind wild lovers with gold…
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
To grasp at the root This longing for the seasons Hidden deep, deep down To say it’s just “Natural,” Would only scratch the leaf-tops
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
