Weave of Fate

Beneath the cherry blossom, I believe, I fell in love with you ere summer’s sun A love so new my heart was all to-do A dream I thought I would never achieve. This mystery that only fate could weave To ease the ache of want that left me dun Untouched was I as love my mind did shun So pain would fade just like the autumn leave. There was no plan to tap a ceaseless dream Or reach the joyous heights as movies end A sushi smile that made my iced-heart bend In ways my thoughts forgot so it would seem I was so tainted like pots of soured cream And I’d closed my heart to love’s concealed wend An island lost so I could not defend The grasp of love that made my senses scream. And now I feel your arms sweetly surround My soul within the tenderest embrace And feel my pulse when e’er eyes see your face While in your kiss my words are lost, dumbfound As I fall gently to the waiting ground To swirling joys of love your fingers trace No time to think of elegance or grace When lost in love I sigh I’m truly found.
