Not in your dream, in heart
What lets me meet you
Without you—it might so seem,
But fades soon like dew…
Seems like last refuge— a dream
And fills one’s joys to the brim.
Joys that rise like cream
And then spill over the brim
As no joys I deem…
So, let me keep you in heart
From where none takes you apart.

Tanka |05.01.2024| dream
Poet’s note: Haiku originated as a dialogue between two in love exchanging poetic notes, one posing a point, to which the other adds a couplet that completes the dialogue. Later, the two combined to make a Tanka. This one is a double Tanka, the next one as replied by the girl. The boy realizing that heart is a better place than a dream.
