Seeking true love; two tanka

1/

seeking

true love

peel by peel

of her

onion

2/

make love to me...

she embraces me in

warmest kiss

i run out of breath

run out of my self

Peeling onion tanka

revisiting our past
i eventually realize
how hard you tried
to smile for me
while you're peeling onion

mengenang masa lalu
kusadari juga akhirnya
sesulit apapun kau coba
tersenyum kepadaku
sambil mengupas bawang
