Dragons

Where there is fire, there is hope -
Wishes raising with the smoke,
Dragons fighting with the cold,
Stories from each chimney told;

Ghosts of winter from above -
Looking back in hights with love;
All the clouds in flight can catch,
One by one wishes they snatch;

Look, some pierce a way through clouds -
Reaching to the stars in crowds;
The winds of hights take them far,
From heart to heart, star to star…

In mid of night starts to snow,
Lighten dragons through flakes flow,
All those stories now afloat,
Wish it or you wish it not…

Oh Gods!

Oh gods, we cherish life in vain -

It brings more sorrow and more pain;

Look at this leaf still in its youth;

Decayed in growing by man’s truth!

Oh gods, what truths man can now seek,

Of what truths minds can purely stick -

There's desire in each thread of thought,

It conquers man in smallest fought!

Oh gods, how much you love to laugh

At our thought of being rough -

We brake with winds when standing tall,

Survived inclined of being small!

Oh gods, how long one's will can live

When heart is built just to deceive -

We love the form, we love the space,

Charmed by beauty in senseless disgrace!

Oh gods, who's man at all to judge

Your purest form of joy and grudge;

I’m standing still to hear your voice,

In darkest night I long a choice!

Divided

Happy and sad
For the gone rainstorm
For that rainbow

Relapse

Time lapses
Of seconds with you
Without you

Reach

Give me a corner
Of the farthest universe
I will bring you there

Puzzle

When love changes
What never changes
Which side’s real

When

When it stops raining
When words stop being just words
Where will all whens go

Scraps

Light reflections
Walking on burst glass
Not sorted out

[Unnamed]

When angels sing
One knows is too late
Of a morning

Roads

The roads we walked
And torrents we dove
Same staggered path

Flight

This floating world
Constructed in beats
Of hearts broken

Heralds

From pole to pole
Hanged ash tree branches
Far-reaching hearts

Glimpses

It took a glimpse
To know was over
As it started

Miscounting

I learned three truths
Proved to be just two
In one’s shadow

Penumbra

Question each truth
Its light will escape
In life's shadows

Fires

In mid of night
Selves burn like candles
Next day’s smoke

Divergence

Aligned faces
Searching guru’s eyes
Misaligned faith

Nudity

Her bare beauty
In passerby’s eyes
Uninnocent

Flight

Believe in flight
And the wings will spread
Carried away

Prejudice

She found a box
To contain my heart
Up on a shelf

Nonsense

Repelled known
Embraced in unknown
Altogether

Steps

Heart stumbles
Over mind’s temper
Two steps ahead

Lost

Over the waves
The captain’s half lost
Without his ship

Solitude

An anchored ship
Without its skipper
Shores got steeper

Sailing

A young carvel
Led by old shipman
Waves left behind

Blow

Two grey stones
Awaken by noise
Zigzagging

Sailing

Young captain’s blood
On an old vessel
Swift till next storm

[Unnamed]

Hold of moments
As they pull you in
Then set them free

Dreams

Dreaming of you
I swiftly woke up
Still dreaming

Flow

Each ending
Has two beginnings
Why be sorrow

Foggy

So much smoke
In a kindled heart
Spring fogginess

Refugee

Pulling from world
Meaningless verses
A fool’s refuge

Crush

Crushing the heart
On a dirty floor
No more love left

Kokoro

Where the spirit rests
Mind has no borders
Fallen from one's heart

Wishes

A birthday cake
Lighten by wishes
One from afar

Quivers

The wind calls
The sea answers
Softened soughs

Flurries move
In long caress
Lustful moans

Swooping down
In a cascade
Caught under

Pushing through
In long exhales
Pulled within

Moving slow
In an embrace
To the shores

Pulling back
Against the wind
Back for more

Bite by bite
The silence comes
Endlessness

Flames

Ideas burning
In shades of a night candle
Morphing warm voices

How

How would you know love
If it didn’t came from my lips
How would you feel life

Flow

Aren’t two rivers
That crush into each other
The same river

Flight

Words must set free
To witness their flight
Someday they’ll nest

Climate

There are days when
Life becomes rivers
And days of drought

Scrambles

One clings to
The illusion of freedom
Till becomes a home

Swirl

A piece of code
Regained its freedom
In a bug

Deceit

How masterful
At hiding feelings
Aren’t we human

Destiny

How candid the rose
How decrepit the trash bin
Made for each other

Perception

When one sees a wall
Life becomes a wall
So choose a garden

Counterpoise

To value light
One tastes darkness
Walking abyss

Entrapment

When love’s a wall
Life becomes prison
Let doors open

Broken

A seed must crack
Its hardened shell
For sake of growth

Wavery

What is the river
That crushes into the sea
Inner waterfall

Divergence

One thought moves away
Another remains with you
In broken heartbeats

Flight

Gazing the clouds
Jumping from thought to thought
Times at past tense

Remains

In words one lives
From storm to storm
What’s left behind

Wearing off

So many loves
So many lessons
Just a heart

Meaningless

What meaning the life
That escapes through one’s fingers
Beyond mortals’ grasp

[Unnamed]

Delicate
The strings of life
One last thread

Perfume

Random thoughts
Through lilac branches
Unweaving scent

Flurries

How heartsick the wind
Not knowing where to settle
Branching through the trees

Attraction

Waking up each day
To catch your steps through the dark
Beloved illusions

Tenderness

Let me be the lamp
That caresses your darkness
Oh lurky shadows

Hide

Hidden behind trees
The home of one soul
The forest itself

Sleeping Beauty

How beautiful
One’s ignorance
And how asleep

Martial

On tatami
Kicking and tramping
Elephant style

Blossoms

Blossomed Kyoto
How soon will grasp your petals
Of timeless garden

Mural

If one can’t scribe free
What value the bricks
Of golden castles

Precious

Precious the smile
That opens your heart
Got a diamond

Box

Sensing the wind
With palms wide open
Inward dancing

Sunburns

That smile that grows
Upon my mornings
What a sunburst

Wholeness

The nothing that is
And infinity that isn’t
Pieces of same whole

Walks

Peace comes
In every step
Left behind

Togetherness

Two trees fallen
Over each other
Winding as one

Circularity

Round the circle
Lies infinity
Chasing own tail

Candles

Each heart feels
Responsible
For mind’s light

Foolishness

The fool in me
Seeks the fool in you
So foolish

Haiku

An idea
Scratches the surface
Till it counts

Wilderness

Sand impressions
Washed with the sunset
Savage echoes

Timing

Two storks’ cry
And there we are
Going home

Scream

A sole trumpet
Brushes the silence
More of a yelp

Candles

Look at the hopes
That kept you alive
Till their own grave

Passage

Day by day
Windows are closing
Same open door

Fireside

Caught in last dance
The flame with no fire
Gray like smoulders

[Unnamed]

The earth opens
For the seeds that come
And those that go

Hike

Climbing mountains
To find the silence
Within the self

Breach

Breaching sunrays
Grooming the silence
In morning hours

Grasps

I see you
In each raindrop
Glimpse of known

I wonder
Of the unknown
Rain-crier

Recipe

One ounce of love
Two hungry souls’ search
Mixed together

Flirt

Catch me if you can
Flirted a cherry blossom
In faraway dive

Rooting

Be like a tree
With the roots deep sunk
Into being

Disconnect

For the blown seed
Estranged from the tree
Parallel lives

Waves

The wave comes back
From where it started
To be a wave

Play

The master plays
With one’s desires
And emptiness

Quivers

Hearts in tremble
Like the leaves in spring
Forever young

Tipping Point

Sudden awaking
Holding you close to my heart
Felt eternity

Journeys

One knows the answer
But not the question
That led one astray

Vibrations

How did the wind
Found its way to me
And not her love

Mirroring

If a dewdrop
Can mirror the sky
Why wouldn’t I

Egos

If the host can’t let
His ego under doormat
How can one enter

Riddles

The cat that is
And the cat that isn’t
How many cats

The love that is
And the love that isn’t
How many loves

The cat that is
And the cat that isn’t
How many loves

Madness

A madman’s work
Can save a world’s soul
With more madness

Witness

The stars are there
To see the rising
And the descent

Coil

Half snakes
Above the ground
Crooked trees

Drops

A raindrop
Learned to know itself
In an ocean

Mirroring

In wonder
A child looks at life
Through your own eyes

Flurries

Am I the pond
Or the shifting waves
With the flurries

Grasps

Words’ false prophets
Unveil promises
In search of land

Waves

Words hit one’s mind
Like a sea in rage
Peril nature

Crush

On her skin
Love knew its price
In its end

Breath

Fast leaping splashes
Wheezing through water lilies
A green puffy squawk

Storm

Raindrops falling
Flashes striking in
Within same heart

Wonder

Beer bottles clinging
Of a perfect spring evening
The minds can wander

Displacement

When did love become
Just a story on a wall
Shifted emptiness

Deconstruction

Store after store
Life’s a pagoda
Lost between stairs

Romantics

Always in love
Images of you
Streets without end

Letters

No scent as the first
Love letters spread on the floor
Red roses’ petals

Homesick

I miss the waves
Whispering my name
Homeless river

Past

In love with the past
One seldom has a future
Nor dreams to forecast

Home

Just take me home
Where now I belong
Into your heart

Ridges

Earth-grooving steel
Turns one year’s hardness
Upside down

Spring

Where are spring’s birds
Steel furrows the depth
List after list

Beauty

Extreme beauty
Enslaves one’s senses
Craving for more

Riddle

Two cracks in the wall
Let the flurries come and go
Cloudless raindrops fall

In Memoriam

How candle lights
Will make for all rage
That burns inside

Spells

Don’t be surprised
Of the way life folds
Spells split and bind

Broken

A broken ship
Has nothing to lose
But its self
