Is called a sedoka
Standing in your glow
In the aura of your smile
Makes me feel love in your light
Or
Embracing your heart
With each pound against my soul
Fills me with your love
Sedoka:
Your rose petal lips
Were so soft and full of love
Kissing me under the stars
Under the half moon
We stood together and stared
In the twilight of our eyes
