Lilacs

Bright, violet sprig.
Tucked lightly in chestnut hair.
The light in your eyes.
Darling, did it remain there?
In my heart, it always blooms.

Very nice pen Thomas! You've captured a lot of deep emotions in this piece, dear friend. I liked your bitter-sweet tanka. A 7 from me! And thanks for sharing! Wishing you a very lovely day! In his light! God bless you! :-) D.
