Carpe Diem Sparkling Stars Tomas Tranströmer’s “Inner Voice”

This week the source of inspiration on Carpe Diem Sparkling Stars is a haiku, written by a Swedish writer, poet and translator Tomas Tranströmer:

* * *
a scene on the platform.
what a strange calm –
the inner voice

* * *

I tried not to wander too far from the same mood and spirit when writing mine:

* * *
trying to silence
the inner voice in tavern
-a cup of saké

* * *

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Shadow Mirror

* * *
new bottle of sake
one night long conversation
mirror can’t escape

* * *

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Shadow

* * *
empty sake bottle
i look in smashed mirror
no stars but black hole

* * *
lips and fingertips
his galaxy exploded
flooding milky way

* * *

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

* * *
elusive in the dusk
light challenges the darkness
endless dialogue

* * *

entangled skin to skin
touches speak louder than words
we converse

* * *

Carpe Diem Haiku

* * *
empty sake bottle
on a dusty window pane
i write my haiku

* * *
