Third reading of a great favorite.

Poems often of great passion.

Here's a gem by Fujiwara No Sadayori, 11th century:

You say, "I will come."
And you do not come.
Now you say, "I will not come."
So shall expect you.
Have I learned to understand you?

rahul How do hit that Like button again, for a second reading of a review :)
These are great, I happened to have read them as part of a contest series where each week inspired by one poem, you would come up with a five line poem yourself.
Many translations too exist online.
