Origami

Folding the days
Over a lifetime
Broken dovetails

Anglers

Fishing for gods
To ease the hunger
Of faith

Waves

Each big wave
Brings an abyss
Of unknown

Sailing

Islands of despair
Drifting toward each other
Carried away winds

Icebergs

Walking icebergs
Loving more than shown
Less than we can

Belonging

Lead me astray
Where do I belong
Into your heart

Mirroring

Cloudy skies
Change lake’s mirroring
But not the trees

Clocks

An old clock
Waits to get broken
Tick tack tack

Passengers

With each passing star
We are closer to the skies
Light comes - fades away

By giving
You’re helping your self
So am I

Trapped in cages
Watching birds’ tweeting
Dysfunctional

Stars swallowed
By the city lights
Hungover

Halves

Half sunrise
Against half moon
Full morning

Moonlight

Too small to lift
Upon her shoulders
The weight of love

Fall

Falling short
On some ideas
Of surviving

Concealment

Hidden between leaves
Beauty finds the suffering
On verge of winter

Walks

One seldom gets lost
By walking on others’ path
One seldom gets found

Blossoms

Thoughts blossom
In the spring of life
Bare tomorrows

[unnamed]

I started to see
Too late for a difference
To lit the blindness

Play

Give me your heart
And I’ll make it fall
Into mine

Share me your mind
And I’ll make it raise
Upon mine

Show me your soul
And I’ll make it walk
Towards mine

Waves

Sunrise remains
Till the sunset sets
Birth death repeat

Boxing

Putting these feelings
In all kind of white boxes
To hide the darkness

Sailing

Following the sea
Wherever it takes my sails
Just staying afloat

Bricks

Fitting bricks
To close the holes
From our souls

Away

Feeling home
Between cold strangers
Softened exile

Emptiness

Are we so empty
That we look at the moonlight
For vain compassion

Reach

We look to the stars
To find an intelligence
To overshadow

Ordered tulips
In chaos of green
Fractals of red

Sweet cherry lips
Never meant to kiss
Window imprints

Cherry blossoms
Trashed by the flurries
For one’s pleasure

Waiting for a fight
Not happening

Walls of darkness
Escaping from lights
In more darkness

Blown

Why do we love winds
When they bring so much sorrow
Blown red rose petals

Muttering waves
Grasp words one by one
What a glide

Gliding pigeon
Over station’s rails
On the wrong track

Quite disappointed
By the awaited sunset
The clouds rule my thoughts

Bridges we don’t see
As we’re walking by
The whispering wind

The eyes of old
Weakness mirrors back
In search of strength

Fluffy clouds
Melting with my thoughts
Then the landing

Building around
The empty spaces
Of my heart

For Buddha’s calling
No Buddha

Tiny droplets
Create the river
Of feelings

In mid of hunger

Fighting with an empty bowl

Pouring happiness

The afflicted mind
Swift movements

Two lovebirds
Goofing around
Of old age

Bending within
The soul looks its glory
From eyes man’s heart

Cheating the gods
At games they fashioned
Foolish braveness

Days’ symmetry
Reduced to feelings
Of belonging

In the stormy wind
Function of hopes

Should I forget
A ravishing storm
Or a calm sea

With the waking dawns
A powernap

I set each word
To echo my heart
A child’s drumming

On the brand-new couch
Last masterpiece

A monk wiping a cat’s paws
For self-refinement

An old jar holds
Pennies for your thoughts
Sips of moonshine

My faith
Your religion
Same blue sky

Fall

Pulled away
First cherry blossom
Fallen for me

Surge

Between snowflakes
Life melts in moments
Surged to blossom

Blossoms

Pink cherry blossoms
Popping on a frozen blue
Awakening spring

Footsteps

Footsteps in snow
Caught myself staring
At my own thoughts

Mist

The mist of thoughts
Not knowing the where
Just the being

Words

Meaningless words
With the daily swim
Drunken as we

Grasps

The big wave
Closing its grip
Washed away

Remains

Two broken towns
I found peacefulness
In their fragments

Scream

Hands outreaching
To the unseen soul   
That brought them there

Pierces

Dreamful knives
Estranged home
Of my heart

[Unnamed]

Inside a world
Outside another
My self the bridge

Flight

The half full glass
Thoughts' flighty smoothness
Bourbon moonlight

Eviction

One finds exile
In the curved cages
Of one’s mind

Insanity

We walk alone
So that we not share
How lone we are

Snowflakes fall fast
Time flows so slow
From thought to thought

Blossoms

The frozen field
Tulips all over
The spring market

Laughter

Stars live and die
Must be laughing at
Our gravity

The warm rice
In a cold sunset
With my eyes closed

Flurries

Obtuse as right
Angles quest the might
Flurries of sight

Pearly

Caught in a shell
Not knowing the waves
That started all

Touch

How can one touch
The rims of the stars
From way under

Sighting

Turning to stars
When clouds ravish all
Glimmers of hope

Entanglement

Souls pulled together
In paired realism
One degree freedom

An oak’s branches
Run though my window
Moon-catching fires

Moondust

Running through thoughts
For long forgotten
Moonlight dusting

Moonbeams

Broken accords
Of a violin
The moon plays low

Moonflowers

Night-blooming dreams
Dreamer’s confinement
In own wishes

Counting

Counting the seconds
In stars passing trough
I kept my promise

Shine

Before the clouds
Behind the raindrops
Sun shines within

Into your eyes
Night became the moon
On its rising

Haiku

Started a haiku
Ended up in a puddle
Sudden word splashes

Nonsense

Eating tofu
For vegan’s sake
Holly baka

Bits

Bits of rain
That sometimes end
Bits of shine

Variance

One day of spring
Between two winters
What awful taste

Words

How should you read
A book with no words
By writing it

Haiku

Who would had known
My black humor died
Of an old age

Bottleless

Stranded on the beach
A bottle with no message
No waiting lover

Asleep

No cat complains
About man and mice
When is asleep

Moonshine

Accepting the days
As I reach the deep bottom
Of empty barrels  

Moonlight

No moonlight
To lead my sorrow
Trough the rain

Vicissitude

Love isn’t enough
For a winter’s day
Isn’t it snowflakes

Asleep

One’s wake-up awe
How long I was asleep
A snowflake melting  

Geometry

The unit looks
Upon its round-square
An edge we share
