Envy (Senryu)

Hand in hand, shared joy.
Seeing, knowing, not sharing
Bitter sweet sadness.

A lover's farewell

I am a being forged in hell.
All seeming good I'll soon dispel
All joy in life, promptly expel.
For your own good, quick, say "Farewell".


You think I bring you lasting fun.
Little knowing what you've just begun
So much you've worked for, all undone
I cannot be your true loved one.


If joined with me, you will be cursed.
Your life in sadness, full immersed,
A lifetime's gain, so soon dispersed,
Take this last kiss on your lips pursed.

Tough Love (Senryu-haiku)

Living trail of pain
Would that I had never been.
All those lives enjoyed.-
