I have seen the sun'of some
wanna be coltrane
without his gwen

tiptoeing his weakness
by the window
just below my sights

I hear his pretend
but he is deaf to my set
and click hesitation

in some other armor
does he not see the led
with it's steady mark

touching his secret bleed

1. [Common Usage] a person studying martial arts or ways
2. Name given to all those who follow a school of Budo, whatever their grade. Each branch of Budo has its own name: Judo, Aikido, Karate, etc. A Budoka within a particular branch is this also a Judo-ka, Aikido-ka, or Karate-ka, the suffix -ka denoting 'a practitioner'.
3. (boo-doh'kaw) "military art person" Any follower of the budo doctrine belonging to such arts as aikido, judo, kendo, karate-do, iaido, and kyudo.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
