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.
