lockdown season

only one frog

in my pond 

african violets

all blooming towards the sun 

far, far away 

stage 4 restrictions

but flowers 

blooming as usual 

trees of winter

winter morning
how pitiful
a leafless tree!



harsh cold wind
golden silence
of the tree



vibrant trees of autumn
they bear that sad look
in winter



the
       last
              leaf
                     just
                             d
                                r
                                  o
                                    p
                                      s

randomness

randomness
like my thoughts
and my desire


the road of desire
such endlessness


a wise ending
for proper closure
with myself


time for myself
by a pile of books


books books
silent yet chatty
with a flip


virtual flipping
no sound of it

planning
for
what?


am I too confident
planning for
my thoughts?


what will be will be!
quote on
my planner

into
the planned
unseen

at the airport
I fly away
my new year day

new year
what is there for me
to be anew?

comfortable life
I wish the same for
areas of bush-fires

bush-fires
nature is giving up
on us

in the middle
we imagine both
heaven and hell

trying out tanka 6

lying on bed
that coldness
only the thought of you
keep me warm
from within

wander on
the lonely planet
as vast as mind

dinner for two
only the cutlery
talk

trying out tanka 5

under attack
I wave my white flag
you enlighten me
with the sweetness
of surrender

trying out tanka 4

happy songs
though my mind
still lingers
those sadness of
you and me

trying out tanka 3

snowflakes
how they remind me of
your sparkling eyes
looking at
her

sketching a lady
she tells me
"I am full of lines"

in silence
our solitude
meet each other

new year days
where will I get
my new map?

fake snow
I watch
her melting smile

it's just too much
I buy a new hard disk
to extend our memories

trying out tanka 2

such warmth
of your lips
when you say
those words of
parting

trying out tanka 1

you little bee
buzzing here and there
don't you dare kiss
my withering
pollen

happy hour
all things
blurred
