Poetic Form 74: Somonka

 Dreamer

I want to love you

until the sky opens up

letting the stars free.

We can climb the points until

we become the Milky Way.


You promise so much.

Making me believe in the

magic of kissing.

We hold hands under the moon,

until your words are eclipsed.


Poetic Form #74: Somonka

The somonka form is from Japan. It's two tankas written as two love

 letters to each other (one tanka per love letter).
