TANKA:

P K Padhy

i search the shadow of happiness
in my poetic science
within the metaphysical field:
the frequency
for the agony to heal

*** *** *** ***

he searches
for a ray of light
in the kingdom of darkness
the sun remains always
in hide for the blind

*** *** *** ***

the greatest experience of life
in the light of darkness
he inks
when he kisses
the warmth of the final breath
