Tanaga #2

Stay

Love is beautiful, they say, "Hold my hand and let us stay", No words can explain my pain, As I held your hands in vain.

Reflection:

This tanaga talks about how people often romanticize that love is beautiful and never think of its painful side. The line "Hold my hand and let us stay" tells the desperate tone of the speaker, his desire to keep holding on, but no matter how desperate, how he tried to keep her close, love, no matter how warm it felt, can still fade.

Loneliness and Isolation

Loneliness stalks our every move, everywhere we go, it follows, slowly isolating us like an old road far from the bustling freeway. It whispers insecurity, anxiety, and isolation, getting louder as it slowly creeps in our direction. A thick fog of darkness, a faceless void, a shadow prison. Solitude grows with us, preventing us from escaping its grasp.

Time and Change

An entity that is relative moves forward, never backwards, that is time. A ruthless reminder to be cautious, a constant reason for overthinking our daily behavior. Change acts like our second life, another chance for redemption, to redeem and avoid previous misfortune. Time and change complement each other like a married couple taking care of us, as time moves forward, so does change occur.

Hope and Positivity

Hope is like a friend that pushes us to keep moving, a gentle reminder to dream big and high, and a defense against negativity. Positivity helps us to believe in hope, tiptoeing in our minds, sprinkling optimism and assurance. A pinky promise that relieves us and a gentle nudge to believe in ourselves, a reason to say "YOLO".

Loneliness and Isolation

As the emotions drag my feet along the curb, my senses begin to dull. The world seems to to spin without me. This feeling of dread creeps on my shoulder, taking me down with it. How can I escape this blunder?

Time and Change

The clock runs without ceasing, waiting for no one. An unstoppable force that not a soul can hold. Some wish it would stop and keep things as they are. But as time forces change, change leads to growth.

Love and Relationships

The string that binds us together, a bond held together with my whole heart. My heart jumps out to grab your hand like a child craving a motherly embrace. The feeling of having a missing part and that fluttering emotion. Like a piece of a puzzle waiting to be completed.

Hope and Positivity

A dark room covered in darkness with just a dim lightbulb to illuminate it. The light that always looks like it is about to fade. Yet, it stays glowing. Persistently keeping the dark, cold room lit. The lightbulb stays strong, keeping the same small glow without ever changing.

"Fleeting time"

Bird song in the dawn,

Daylight warms the window pane,

A new day begins.

I thought about the things that happen when a new day begins, thinking about fairytales that usually begin with the sounds of birds chirping. Also that feeling of the sun's rays hitting your face feeling warm inspired the line.

"Boundless"

The Breeze around me,

The scent of grass fills my nose,

Just in the moment.

I remembered a memory of a trip when we went to a mountain; it was sunny, windy, and clean. The moment felt surreal, isolated from the bustling city. The wind felt so free which inspired me to write this haiku called boundless.

"The Unexplored"

It seems to not end,

The blue waves and the clear sky,

Calm yet chaotic.

I imagined how vast the ocean is. The wide and vast waters seem both uniform and chaotic. The constant crashing of waves yet it gives a sense of peace, and how much of it is unexplored.

"Parched"

My mind starts to fade away, As I feel the sun's hot ray, I keep walking through the haze, Lost in time and heat’s cruel maze.

I imagined a long, harsh journey through the hot desert fighting with your own body to keep up. The harsh environment and the blazing hot sun. This is a battle between man and the world.

Conquerer

The long cold trek up the trail, On my toes and close to fail, Enduring the cold winter, to reach the top, a winner.

I always thought about how resilient mountain climbers are. They choose to climb up these daunting mountains and aim to reach the top. The challenges they have to face all while facing the freezing cold temperatures.
