TANKA and HAIKU poems by Maria Tosti

TANKA

... yakamoz - 

swaying over the bosphorus 

moonbeams 

the first boats out to sea 

fishing for hopes

***

it rains in the city - 

in your mavi eyes 

I rediscover the sky 

I close myself in your embrace 

oblivious to the world 

***

nostalgic tour - 

the last ride downtown 

with the red tram 

your perfume inebriates 

sequences of memories 

***

HAIKU

one thousand and one nights - 

lit lanterns and spices 

at the grand bazaar

***

on the waterfront - 

at lunch your smile 

between tea and simit 

***

night photos -

two lovers and behind

the red bridge
