A poem to the love that pulls in the variables of love. Result is sweet when the journey is bitter. A moment like this feeds a man a happy 8 hours sleep.
A Journey With Soul-keeper
How to tell this serene time lapse
would not stay forever in my arms
The way you walk on my bare chest
the tremors frees the jostling raven in me
The slow heartbeat and my aching soul
cries and dies to flow in your crimson red lips
Never to know the sigh that I martyr into a warp
when you swallow my tears in your smile
In a castle made of glass is where I am trapped
to find my day and night curl around your reflection
A voyage with my dream sailed to find the rain
came back empty when you stole away my peace
Yes, today I am not my own and not anybody else's
and rebirth every midnight when you hug me on the bed
Now I teach the stars to fondle with mysteries of the night
and you happened to me when a touch was made not by any hand

TANKA HARAKO Ⅲ: 短歌 原狐 Ⅲ Kindle Edition by +Rika Inami 稲美 里佳
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071VH2LR6/
Amazon Japan: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B071VH2LR6
This is the third Tanka poetry collection of Rika Inami
Rika originally composed Tanka in Japanese and translated them into English.
You can read this book in a bilingual manner, Japanese & English.
Rika lives in Akita Prefecture, Japan, which is rich in nature, so she has mainly written Tanka in praise of nature. Throughout her daily life she is inspired by beautiful mountains, flowers and rivers. She experiences the mysteries of nature. Her existence itself is reflected in her description of nature.
While compiling this book, she felt that the publication would fall in the season of the cherry blossoms.
It inspired her to include the works of or relating to cherry blossoms. Thus, among fifty-one tanka poetries, readers will find more than ten works of cherry blossoms.
Furthermore, as a WEB Tanka poetess, Rika composed Tanka lines from her Internet life such as Emails. They have romantic moods.
It is just expressed in this book that we have to respect and share with nature even in this science-technology age.
It is sure that readers who love Tanka poetry since the time of “Manyoshu 万葉集 ” and respect traditions in the scientific times will empathize with this book.
作者自選の第三歌集です。
日本語で詠った短歌を英訳した日本語と英語の2カ国語で書かれた短歌集になっています。自然が豊富な秋田県に在住する作者の短歌の中心は主として自然です。山、川、花々、日々の生活のなかで目にした自然のなかにある個々の事物の内に見てとった一瞬のきらめき、永遠の神秘に作者自身を投影させて、一気に短歌として詠い上げました。
編集時期が桜開花の頃と一致したということもあり、本書には桜にまつわる歌が10首以上収められています。
またインターネット時代に生きる作者はWEB生活から題材を得て、携帯メールのやりとり等の科学技術時代に乗じたロマンあふれる短歌も詠っています。
本歌集は、科学の時代に生きつつも、万葉の和歌の時代からの伝統を愛し踏襲する現代に生きる短歌を愛する皆様の共感をきっとよぶことでしょう。
