Geisha Portrait

Mysterious pulse of old Japan: Oriental strides of nurtured grace; Cultured impulse in mindful trend. Painted faces with measured trace: Years of training now fruit fine skills; Motif graces that gently pace. Merge with duty in kind goodwill: Delicate moves put men at ease; Fine robes silky as softness fills. Walk on still air with radiant peace: Sweet music floats in song and dance; A touch most fair as charm funds ease. Sweet scents abide in steady stance: Fragrant cherry blossoms delight; Hostess makes strides to flavour dance. There is a heart that sees things light: Whispers most sweet warm murmurs here; Choice sparks fond art in precious sights. Listen, art weaves sensuous cheer: Know sure finesse in cultured ways; Petals and leaves, poignant grace steers. Geisha maiden livens sure sway: Gentle yet firm with sacred code; Courteous haven that honours play. Evening comes by nature's mode: To waltz the guests with tender poise; Explore and sum the festive lode. Feed special treat for merry choice: Discipline tells in cultured plot; Look to chimed feats with measured voice. Geisha knows how to prime each lot: Pulse of movement that entertains; Swaying flows now with subtle thought. Years of passion as purpose trains: Looking to sculpt a way of life; See pure action where intent gains. Glimpse the lure of cultured strife: Here by the gate on Eastern shores; Costume feels sure a beauty's life. Mind and heart sign in craft and more: Body allure that tells a tale; Zen-like fine art to unleash core. Delicate moves in rice brewed ale: Joy serenades the party mood; Crisp movement grooves as freshness sails. Bright moonlight streams a dazzling good: Lovely looks flood the surge of play; Dream follows theme in wine and food. Strains of music dwell with verse say: Song and haiku to paint a glimpse; Rhymes string magic as movement strays. Geisha my dear watch wordplay scheme: Look to beauty that hides within; Notice lines steer the path I dream. Geisha maiden from times unseen: Fine tapestry from ancient times; Sculpted haven from ageless scenes. Geisha looks quaint in modern chimes: Face laced in paint as silk robes time.
