MOON: A TANKA SEQUENCE

Watching the moon
in the western orizon
two haiku poets
scratch each other's back and mock
the rest as neophytes

Silence of birds
and moon so miserly
I feel homesick:
mists,fogs and
leaflessness
add to monotony

Couldn't sleep all night
darkness of thought spread over
the mind with closed eyes
I negotiate fear
of missing the moon and loss

Her letter smells
the lotus she wore each time
meeting in the moon:
I touch her fingers again
with all the hopes and tensions

The fragrance of rose
seeps through the windows
coupled with full moon
adds to my delight though I'm
alone in my bed tonight

Ghosts rise to mate
in moonlight tear the tombs
frighten with fingers
rhino horns rock the centre
granite sensation

LOVEMAKING : A HAIKU SEQUENCE

Lovemaking
he melts into her
time stands still


Lovemaking
the sound of orgasm:
Lao Tzu*

["A great sound is inaudible, and a great image is formless," said Lao Tzu.]


Making love
she tastes the salt upon
his shoulder


Candling in vein
leaves marks of teeth on her neck
utters holiness


Unclothing
the white night:
lips meeting lips


Writes with strands of
watery hair on her bare back
a love haiku


After the tumble
buried between the sheets
leftover passion


She departs
leaving behind her clothes
over mine

DEPARTURE

she departs
leaving behind her clothes
over mine
