The Cherry Blossom Weep

Sunburnt kisses soothing drenched down
bowing limbs   wind torn and tossed
frozen tips     at times
Uprooted and reckless
broken and helpless
thinned out tops   shaking
with every frigid breath
battling another storm
with Autumn approaching
how will I ever stay warm

Black knots haunt
the cherry blossom weep
I worry about the setting sun
as she smothers the pain
will I ever be me again
