LOVE IS... (Renga)

Shines like a treasure

This feeling I have inside

Ignites my lone nights

Your love is the one I seek

To fill my incomplete heart

This intense feeling

It’s wonderful I could smile

Please hear my request

                                                                                Hear this small voice inside me

This feeling I can’t fathom

Let me love you now

Let me kiss you in the rain

Let I, own your heart

Let me gaze upon your eyes

Let me hear your heart beat mine

    
  When I think of love

   I remember your sweet stare

   Which looks through my soul

   Your love feeds my hungry heart

   Which keeps me breathing alive.

Renga, meaning "linked poem," began in Japan to encourage the collaborative composition of poems. Poets worked in pairs or small groups, taking turns composing the alternating three-line and two-line stanzas.
