Exceptional Gogyohka Poem Suite 2024 Japanese Poetry : ~ I Don't Want To Die ~ by Gypsy Blue Rose word definitions and poem form in author notes

I don't want to die without tasting your lips and your salty golden skin but you live   on a distant shore   I don't want to die crying inconsolably like a motherless child in nobody's embrace below the cloudy sky I don't want to die without blending     our bodies and souls   riding on a gypsy's caravan   wandering on winding roads   I don't want to die without feeling your love like a tight tango dance beneath the bewitching Venus and the jealous Moon               Author Notes Caravan = a group of travelers journeying together like a group of gypsies or pilgrims Inconsolably = not able to be comforted Gogyohka is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. === source = writers digest ===source=wikipedia Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
