Buried Secrets

where the seagull dies
stringless origami cries
loneliness of soul

koi fish suffocate
colors fade in Bonsai trees
island in distress

words not understood
shadows grin tricks on rice walls
tsunamis in eyes

geisha of the world
love is lost in illusions
freedom is her dream

men with cold fingers
whither blossom of her spring
harakiri end

in the seagull's grave
origami secrets kept
chicks learn how to fly

Imi place ca ai folosit cuvinte din cultura japoneza:origami, Bonsai, geisha, harakiri. Si eu sunt pasionata de cultura lor si chiar fac cursuri de limba japoneza de un an(stiu sa scriu si sa citesc cat de cat). O poezie foarte frumoasa si trista, in acelasi timp. Mult succes in concurs, draga Iolanda. Cu drag, Emilia:)
