through cataract eyes
she points her gaze within you
looking for your truth
analyzing lives you have lived
and the life you have missed

School Bus: A Tanka
a yellow school bus
beeping through the city streets
picking and dropping
kids with blue water bottles
clutching strings of innocence
Intoxication, Ejaculation: Tanka
Intoxication
amalgamation
wine and Midas in goblet
intoxicated
blind with orgies of desires
flows blood of passion and greed
Bacchus and Midas by Nicolas Poussin
Ejaculation
ejaculation
wine pouring out of canal
enticing ichor
ever flowing nectar of lust
golden touch of coital love

Pontifical Speech: A Tanka
pontifical speech
the venomous lashing words
scars burning alive
toxic blood evaporates
frugal condolences spent
Evocative… Destiny
Erasing the smudges of the past,
vending through my battered soul,
osculation of past and future decisions,
castrating the demons lurking in darkness,
amending the constitution of life,
turning the cards of destiny,
I incarnate, struggling beneath cape,
veiled by my own faults and weaknesses,
evocative poetry of life helping me breathe
.
* Acrostic Poetry… I was not too successful this time around because the overall acrostic is not clear through the verses. Still, I thought of sharing it. I asked Ramblingsfromamum to give me three words, which could inspire me to write. The three words given were; evocative, cape and destiny.
Another try:
an incarnation
wearing cape of destiny
a leap from the top
plummeting down jagged stones
shedding evocative words
.
Yet another try:
evocative change
wings of destiny flutter
revealing the words
hidden beneath cape of life
surrender your soul or leave
* Two Tanka.
