Cherry Blossum Cheeks

Have you ever let your mind sit under a cherry blossom tree The poetic renewal massages the stress away the same way as the beach waves Copy and paste, lying next to you is like closing your eyes under the sunset oceanside A bright blushing sky with kisses of orange, and blue with a honeyed taste that simply grabs you But nothing is as sweet as your sugar, under the shade of this suite Fresh chill of a neutral setting is cooked by our body temperature Peace in the reflection is bringing us closer When I look back at how we arrived at this destination within the calm ripples I see a truth in the tomb of love at first sight Our photograph under the light being born from fallen petals is a coveted site I had to see the treasure I already had instead of searching for gold That's when our story began to unfold, I hate folding clothes I rather unfold and devour deep conversations over shallow beverages She likes easy ice, but I want more, as deep as the roots of this tree The ying and yang Discovering the ocean intricacies when it closes its eyes to dream and wakes up with a kiss complemented by a southern twang She's my main thang, calling my land line Our language reads between the lines Wrinkled with age or bitten white chocolate sheets I love seeing your cherry blossom cheeks p.s. you be the pink and I'll be the red for Valentine's...
