My future me smiled.
More to do before you’re dead.
Romanticize life.

Fear my tiger eyes.
Closer to biting my prize.
I got a good vibe.
– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #187, 10/30/2018 –
When we have a vision of a better life and better world, we must eye it down like a tiger does its prey with patience until we execute and taste our vision and goals. I love tigers because I’m born in the year of the tiger.

Something’s happening.
A feeling, a buzz-like high.
The light will push through.
– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #138, 6/27/2018 –
No matter how hard life gets, whether it be financial hardship, a death of a loved one, or a broken heart, we have to do our best to see all the good we have in our life. Day by day as we work at our projects, we get better and a bit closer to our dreams. In person and through social media, we can support one another. We’re in this together.
I took this picture in Waikele, Hawaii on 10/30/2018.
With Warmest Aloha,
Jon

Leave the angry kings.
They rule in their small boxes.
Play in blank spaces.
– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #185, 10/28/2018 –
Have empathy for angry people who limit themselves by their anger into small boxes, but create your dream life in blank spaces where anything is possible, and be happy while they destroy themselves.

Left the noise for peace.
Training in the outer rim.
My isolation.
– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #186, 10/28/2018 –
Sometimes we need to cut ourselves off from the noise and hate so we can rebuild and reinvent ourselves. When we return, we’ll have more value and love to offer others and our society in a way where our critics and haters no longer recognize us.

Draw her smiling face.
Write what she will do. Love her.
Treat her like a queen.

Strange feelings at night.
They pretend to be loved ones.
Fell asleep awake.

It feels nice to cry alone.
Puddles of tear drops.

You can’t crush what you can’t catch.
