Contrails Of Longing Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Contrails Of Longing Tanka



cotton clouds
quilted by a summer breeze...
contrails of longing
invisible
to my love's wandering eyes

In the early phase of a relationship, love adds intensity to our perceptions of the world. Everything comes alive with fresh color. Then, in the later stages, we can only glimpse remnants of that vividness, lingering like contrails...but we keep looking for it.
