Cherry Blossom you an I

Cherry Blossom you and I

Cherry Blossoms you and I
Cherry blossoms fill the sky
Scented petals all around
Aromatic flutter resting on lovers bound
Bound to nowhere within this lotus trap
Just to stay, forever stay
Within your arms totally wrapped
Your cherry blossom smile
Your Lotus flower kiss
Just a little longer, just for a while
Letting your lips linger on my body , bliss.
Cherry blossom my sad goodbye
Cherry blossom tears as you cry.
Cherry blossom, lotus madness.
Only you and I had this.
East and West, alas our compass rest
Never to bloom in summers same
Never again for me to call your name.
I left my heart within your stormy lotus hand
Stained pink the cherry blossom sand.
Stained pink the sky, sun and moon
Stained pink the stars, the stars
For I will join them soon.
Not just for a night or two
Forever in cherry blossom hue.
Only then we will be,
Once again cherry blossom white
and Lotus wild, totally free.

    Probably you've already heard this from sb, but you have an exceptional style and huge talent, and this poems is just a proof of that.
    Imagery used is so powerful that makes a reader
    sense this mesmerising setting around. The pictures your piece invokes will remain in front of my eyes long time after.
