Traveled Far And Wide – A Tanka

Traveled far and wide

Never having left the house

Imagination

Running wild through the pages

Each chapter an adventure

Every Thought Of You – A Tanka

Every thought of you

Conjures up the memories

I’ve tried to suppress

Spilling out my weaknesses

Leaving me spent and hollow

Demons, Of The Mind Or Real

Demons, of the mind or real

Are they not one and the same?

It all depends on how you feel,

Perception is the name of the game.

~

A fact to one, to another fiction

It matters your point of view.

A passing fad or tragic addiction,

Apparent in what we say and do.

~

It makes no difference the chosen vice,

Whether outside or so ingrained.

Once affliction takes hold, you never think twice,

They are illness’ one and the same

~

Bite down on your tongue the next time you speak

About thinks you know nothing about.

The outlook for some, no matter how bleak

Is a demon they’re fighting to rush out.

I Think

I think,

Mind cluttered with words,

Lines,

Life,

Trash,

Looking for an escape,

A blank page,

A song to sing,

Anything,

Something to feel release,

Pressure,

Cooking up inside,

No anger,

Just excitement,

Bursting to create,

Art,

Happiness,

Love,

It matters not,

Pen,

Brush,

Heart,

Soul,

Tools all the same,

On which canvas I will exact a gentle touch,

Is the question which awaits an answer.

Tempest Rage – A Rondel

A tempest brews its fiery rage,

Raining flame from lair on high,

Innocents run from molten sky,

As players on this devil’s stage.

.

The evil Lord, his venom thrust,

Hatreds source no one can say,

Legend speaks of broken trust,

Though long ago, lives on this day.

.

The village prays a hero come

As many a generation before,

All victims to his ancient lore.

While losing hope is the fate of some

The rest await the chosen one.
