meditation flowing from
the depths of ones soul.

emptiness fills me
loneliness of a thinker
life lived all alone.

filled with giri; I cry
my generation is lost
we have no heroes.

raped with a chainsaw
bloody corpse falls to the ground
crying fills my ears.

depression grips me.
like a cold vise it squeezes
that old friend, alone.

depression grips me
pain is all I feel inside
lonely like a blade.

leaves fall all around
blood fills my eyes as I look
the sky is dying.

tip-toeing around
I must be delicate with
the words I use.

fall is the best time
everything is so withered
dying for rebirth.

salvation; my brain
peace from all the ugliness
this is my freedom.

Samurai sitting
So strong and firm in the sun
This must be the end.

Abandon their summer home

Abject dying fire.

To sate its mindless hunger

Dangerous worship.

Singing and silence

Fills distance between lovers

Sweet feathered courtship.
