Original Art “Cherry Blossom” provided by B.L.

13 Springs ago I flowered…

delicately fragile until I met you

and as soon as my doe eyes locked

onto your moody brooding ones

seven seconds later

You saw, much like an enlightened monk sees

my everything, my budding efflorescence

And in a sunrise and a sunset I expanded into

A tantalizing tempting teasing bloom

Made just for you…

Our childish bashful grins and heart palpitations

Smother reality in steam and innocent heat at 13

Filling the emptiness  in four moonlights

You’re all I ached for each night

Honey pot explosions ravishing wind

A million ways to culminate endless sins

Because you believed, I was allowed to exist

A week to live and live it sweetly

There was nothing but extreme beauty

Between you and me

Quick is the demise when youth is the prize

My gentle heart thrived

In your arms and on your mind

167 hours of adoration’s song

I wouldn’t change it now that it is long gone…

And when you looked away,that day,  quick death at last

New and old and over and done and perfect is the past

Remember me , how I felt and how beautiful I seemed

at 13

every time you close your eyes…

Your cherry blossom is alive.
