Poem 1
Her heart stirred, she smiled
looking at the face she loved.
His eyes mirrored hope
remembering their lost love
crushed by fate, re-awakened

Poem 2
Where is the light that lived within,
Why has the flame of doubt appeared.
The trees bend slightly in the wind
Towards darkness, now have you veered.
Focus on the things dear to you,
Where is the light that lived within.
Your day will come before it's through,
You that have, not died, with sin.
Deep in your soul, you seek therein
The pleasures, that should not have been.
Where is the light that lived within.
Questions of how this came and when
How long have you abandoned life
What have you done, where have you been,
Will you choose to remain in strife
Where is the light, that lived within.

just in few moments
as the dusk obscures the sky
lids cover my eyes
my mind begins to reckon
the things I’ve done the whole day
a flurry it was
missing the sun in your eyes
my heart in regrets
didn’t sing you song last night
or gave you right back sweet hugs
now I sing my song
but ice cream melts on its cone
what else will I do
to win back the love from you
and make me smile and heart grows
plead down so deeply
asking you not to leave me
I am so sorry
this is the best melody
be sung in my poetry
I hope you can hear
song being played in G-Clef
lonely but lovely
Tanka Song with love I sing
hoping to ease all our pains
