When I can see you
Or hear you whisper my name
I know truth and who I am
Your arms are my home
Feeling your weight on the bed
Tells me I've nothing to dread

The Katauta is an unrhymed Japanese form consisting of 17 or 19 syllables. The poem is a three-lined poem the following syllable counts: 5/7/5 or 5/7/7.
The Katauta form was used for poems addressed to a lover. A single katauta is considered incomplete or a half-poem, however, a pair of katautas using the syllable count of 5,7,7 is called a sedoka.
