cherry blossom
-i lick fresh sweetness
from his lips

beneath the sakura tree
i shape a heart of petals
-without you
Not for the contest but tnks Susan
and friends you are an inspiration
the one whose beauty I treasure the most
Brittle and dark her love no one knows
As if under a spell that does not go
She makes an appearance every year
Sometimes early or later
This is the time I hold dear
All who see her are halted in awe
She is beautiful but not yet mine
I don’t want her to ever leave
I will love her until the end of time
Deep pools of luscious ebony.
Exotic beauty behind a veil.
Grace carried on a breeze.
Porcelain perfection air of mystery.

cherry blossom
i lick fresh sweetness
from his lips
cherry blossoms drift
upon the wooden casket
life after life
In memory of our dear souper friend Lucilla Carillo,and my husband's cousin
David Chircop who finished this journey ,to start a better one.
May your fragrance of love bloom in the highest of skies as it did on earth.
'Pls remember them,and their loved ones in prayer'.
The snow gently falls down from the blue sky,
And down, towards south migrating birds go.
Strongly and harshly does the North Wind blow,
Causing stones, twigs to willy-nilly fly.
As I sit here, I watch these scenes and sigh,
When I see the river no longer flows,
And to the ground, wilted flowers bow low,
This makes me ask, why we have winter; why?
But I too know the answer: to give rest,
To the birds and the animals and trees.
To show that pure white things can be awesome.
But when I touch snow, I feel hope at best:
If I wait, be patient, then I may sieze,
A glimpse of the first Sakura blossom.
Gentle sakura
falling into my heart full
of soft snow crystals
Those cloud clad trees
of early spring, too soon do
cover earth with snow.
Mesmerised I watch
Dancing sakura fireflies
Our natures epoch
The luscious cherries
And blossoming fragrances
Sweet sakura tree
sakura, sakura and sakura.....
I see you everywhere
In my mind, in my heart, in my dream
where are you
you are a flower as I know,
you are as nice as a flower
or flower is as nice as you......
In the summer you blooms
in the hills, forests, besides the lakes
Everywhere you are dancing like a girl
with the gentle breeze
I get your smell in the deep blue sky,
in my heart, in my soul.....
Oh, sakura, oh, I never forget you.
blooms of pinks and white
blanket the painted canvas
drawing all who pass

the cherry blossom,
beauty but a breath in time,
life's foreshadowing
Your beauty and delicate nature, indeed we cannot deny
Yet having such a short life span, you somehow eventually die
Like the transient nature of mist and clouds, you superbly reappear
Then breathtakingly take your time to freshen up the air
A majestic symbol of power, knowledge and spiritual pulchritude
Celebrated blossoms attained in Spring you've magnificently exude
You evoke an artistic comparison through your bright ruddy hue
And in the night when we're asleep your petals the skies bedew
Your flowers are nearly pure white, and tinged with the palest pink,
Without hesitation you shrivel and fall before I could even blink
Your spiritual and cultural significance is never an incomplete
Accompanied by your long weeping branches are flowers so very petite
So stunning and stupendously, you lay about the trees
And even when you've carpeted the ground, your beauty never cease
