A Tanka is a short form of poetry with 5 lines; 5 syllables in the first line, then 7, then 5, then 7, and 7 in the last (5,7,5,7,7).

Together

Butterflies within,

A yearing to re-connect

Together again.

To feel each other once more

A new beginning, as one....

Our Story

A gentle knock now,

A door opens to the light,

New eyes meet my own.

A shared path begins to bloom,

What will our story now be?...

Winter Reprieve

Gnarled fingers point low

Frigid wind berates the Sun

Balefule is its dirge

Misty and melancholy

Giving way as Spring draws near...

Start Anew

A new beginning

A clean slate, a brand new day

Who are you and I?

We can decide together

The path is moving forwards...

A Butter Tanka

New to me, this is

Never have I felt like this

Melting like butter

Held too long in your fingers

Never will I be the same...

New Relationships

no extremes no feels

i fear rejection from you.

you’re under my skin

your endless love brings me joy

all the feelings i am calm

(Slovensko)


vse ravno mi je

strah, da me zavrneš, a

Ĺľe si pod koĹľo

sreÄŤa in vznemirjenje

vse ÄŤutim in sem mirna...

New Or Before

Is this feeling new

Cuz it feels just like before

But that one was through

Is this something even more

Or will this be like before...

Strangers

When we have a kiss,

does it mean you’ll stay with me

when I start crying?

Or will you never notice

and go away with your friends?


When we have a hug,

will I hold on desperately?

Or will it just be

with no meaning because we

are still just strangers dating....

first light

your name on my tongue

a stone I’m not used to yet,

warm from the river.

we sit in the quiet dark,

learning each other’s silence....

New Friends

Glasses and earrings

All curly hair and smiles

Sushi and coffee

Sitting in good company

Laughter fills silence aloud...
