Thirteen Nights, Thirteen Tankas

I.

creature
of the night,
wake up!
have you no
god to fear?

II.

restless
souls wander
his paths
of nether
together.

III.

he rides
like legends
tell of
a man on
dead horses.

IV.

with him
visiting
all night,
persuading
to wake me.

V.

pass through
the borders;
cross the
darksome land
of his Nod.

VI.

silence,
dear witness,
while he's
taking me
where god sleeps.

VII.

his eyes,
tightly closed;
his breath,
falling fast:
orgasm.

VIII.

we fly
on his wings
i hold
black bold keys
to his joys.

IX.

i will
doze to his
point of
no return
and no hope.

X.

an eye
is watching
you leave
with all my
bloody tears.

XI.

cold winds,
dark dead skies
tell me
that he's gone
back to hell.

XII.

nightmares
bring him here
without
sight or sound
only fear.

XIII.

at peace
of slumber
he dreams
of heaven
being burned.

Author's Note:
These tankas are in English form (2,3,2,3,3).. and they are all written separately.. It is not necessary that the tankas above talk of a single and common subject. They are independent of each other..;-)
