Okinawa Poetic Reflections

Okinawa War thoughts


these dark moods

follow me

as I tour Okinawa


where the last battles

of world war 11 were fought


thousands died

in the first

and last outpost

of the American East Asian Empire



Okinawa Beckons me


Okinawa Japan

kept calling to me

in a dream

notifying me

always in the background

where my memories

always waiting for me


Beckons me

everywhere I go

cosmic reflections

of past lives

never seen before

seems lost in time

maybe just the spirits of the dead

everywhere I see ghosts



Okinawa Street Scene


Walking the streets

of Fabled Naha Okinawa

a life time dream

someday I would visit


I am surrounded

by ghosts of the past


and Japanese beauties

all around me


tempting me

with their sweet smiles


Impure thoughts

fill my head

as they smile at me

and I smile at them


No wonder

so many Soldiers

brought back

Japanese wives


Japanese Coffee Barista


watching the Japanese

coffee barista


preparing my snarling cup

of hot boss coffee


fills my heart

with ****** joy


how I wanted to express

what was on my mind


right then

to the Japanese

coffee barista



Ghosts of Okinawa  add to Ghosts Poems - post as separate poems


Ghosts of Okinawa


Touring the battlefields

of Okinawa


where so many young men

gave up their life

so many years ago


I see the ghosts

all around me

feel their spirits

floating through the air


Kilroy was here

there and everywhere

whoever that was


and John Dean wannabes

and Elvis wannabes


and so many other wannabes

and I see the ghosts of the fallen heroes

all around me




Signs

everywhere in Asia

you see strange variations

of English

Japlish, Konglish, Singlish


the street signs in Okinawa

are all in Chinese, Japanese, English and Koreans

the bus and train announcements as well
