Poetic Style - Five Tankas Poem by Joyce Hemsley

Let me be your sun
I will shine when day is done
Let me be the one.
Love for you I cannot hide
And a lake of tears I've cried.

Was love but a dream
With a passion so extreme?
Fairytales are dreams!
I need you here, you need me
This is our reality.

Rapture fills the air
When I see you standing there
Smiling ~ debonair.
Come home to me, always stay
Music sweet will charm each day.

Pain will float away
And we'll dance to love's refrain
Danube waltz again.
Red parasol will unfold
Two 'gentle doves' to behold.

So, let me be your sun
I will shine when day is done
Let me be the one.
Love for you I cannot hide
And a lake of tears I've cried.
