Tanka Very Much!

[Remec]

Uphill all the way
some days are so dry, mundane
and I think too much.
Lost in dreaming desire
I'm irresistably drawn.

Drawn to you and all
your everyday secrets;
how you look waking,
which cereal you like best,
where you want it before work.

 

[Guest]

Welcome Remec! I like this. *grin*

Drawn to you and all

Work calls and I cringe -
I am an accessory,
my intellect scorned.
Long mundane days I spend here -
secretly delight in play.

Playmate, stay longer.
Juliette's nightingale sings,
ignore Romeo's lark.
There are sides of our pillows
unused, let's not be wasteful.

Wasteful I would be
if not appreciating
all comers - girls, boys.
Don't be like that sweet lover -
we both can make all welcome.

Welcome! Sit and be
welcome, if not entertained
by such things as you
will never believe existed.
And they don't, except in here.

First Tanka



Here you tease me to
Trusting you again and then
You run off laughing
Not mean, just teasing spirit
And again I am amused!

 

[Guest]

You tease me into
Trusting you again and then
You run off laughing
Not mean, just teasing spirit
And again I am amused!

Welcome Poppy! Very nice job, thank you. One note, however. In this particular thread we are starting off our tankas with the last word of the previous. For next time, OK?

Amused is the best
way to describe how you leave
me after a night
spent watching each other, and
ignoring our current loves.

Thank you...I fixed it!

Loves the twinkling eye
That once was so unsure shy
That smile curving now
On those lips that wow wow wow
Delight me in every way...

(This is fun!)

You're welcome Poppy, thank you!

Love's sweet succulence
beguiles me, entrances
with its honeyed charm.
Shoving combs of high delight
into my mouth, I succumb.

Succumb. So come, come
for me, and let me taste you.
Let me savor, once more,
the special flavor only you have.
Please, satisfy my hunger.

Hunger in darkness
Thirst in light of day go 'way
The rage seethes at times
The rattling of broken dreams
Of schemes never to be won..

(Too dark?)

Won or lost, battles
fought for love never lose their
thrill, drum pounding hearts
time our march onto the field
and all discipline is lost.

Lost to the moment
when the battlefield is cleared
and drums are silenced.
All one hears is heavy breath
as the spoils are consumed.

Lost in thoughts and rhyme
Timing tunes and silly dunes
Of sand and pebbles
Rebels sieging Fortress walls
To dash the romance...as if!

I didn't make the rules, well, Ok I did.

But its just as much fun, and it restores Tanka balance to the universe.

 

[Guest]

Consumed by your eyes
my heart melts like chocolate
yet still beats, harder.
Under your gaze, your fingers
your body, I am aroused.

If I cannot have
your eyes, give me your mouth - please
Softly mobile -
teasing, so tantalizing
imagination aroused.

He makes it up as he goes, Poppy.
