Bound In Grace (NoPoo 54)
realising i'm bound
tethered to her very soul
there is no escape
from the feelings ignited
by the presence of beauty
tethered to her very soul
there is no escape
from the feelings ignited
by the presence of beauty

Poli[ticks] (NoPoo 53)
A politician
Parasitic lifeform
Feeding off the poor
Blaming others in a crisis
Hiding behind glossy words

A Signature In Blue (NoPoo 51)
she engraved upon
the soft beating of my heart
forever branded
surrendering my being
utterly done in those eyes

forever branded
surrendering my being
utterly done in those eyes

Float Like A Butterfly, Sting Like A Bee (NoPoo 50)
fighting moody thoughts
i'm always on the back foot
throwing my punches
not a Mohamad Ali
but at least i'm in the ring

Aching In Infinite Blue (NoPoo 49)
fractures of my heart
breaking beautifully
with just her blue eyes
the unrequited aching
burning so fiercely inside

with just her blue eyes
the unrequited aching
burning so fiercely inside

Can You Read? (NoPoo 39)
writings on the wall
graffiti slogans for all
wise little titbits
entering the consciousness
subliminal messaging

A Dark Lament (NoPoo 38)
miserable thoughts
imagining suicide
a lifeforce ending
decisions influenced
the loneliness taking over

The Journey We All Take (NoPoo 37)
from the day of birth
began the longest jorney
one of joy and pain
with mutual connections
hoping the road never ends

Heaven
( a Rensaku = linked Tanka )
✈️
before Corona,
Mother had stepped out of time
just before morning,
and into eternity—
It was brief, but beautiful
✈️
her journey blessed me,
and taught me about heaven;
I knew she was there
with the sunrise at her back,
and I’ll miss her till we meet
✈️
I, unplanned, arrived
when her first 2 daughters
were young women,
and so our parents began
to start all over again
...

Sheltering
( Tanka )
sheltering in place,
becoming life that will stay
on shallow fault lines
I know we will be alone,
the breakers keep us apart
◽️ ▪️ ◽️
I hear every thought,
po’etry that soothes, he’als
in uncertain times
a tsunami pulling back
but we know it will return
◽️ ▪️ ◽️
is this coming next,
living from a paper box
nowhere else to go
silently the rain shivers, ...

A Thousand Cranes
千羽鶴
( tanka )
while I wait for spring
in honor of Myagi
I fold the first crane
reviving a spirit djinn
it sings in my small hand
🧞♂️
cranes made of paper
in harmony to the earth
a journey begins
as I fold and neatly tuck
snowflakes to be wishes
🧞♀️
quietly sightless
their cause to be as one
when it’s time to say
with these origami birds
this is what I...
