Sakura Petals

Sakura Petals, 8'' x 11'' acrylic on paper

They say it falls effortlessly --

it descends divinely winding stairs
from the topmost of silent wail.

They say time falls unluckily --
when I stopped to sip those sugared smile,
honeyed comb of blackened hair
beneath the pink of syrupy winds.

Therefore I was addicted to you --
neither effortlessly, nor unconsciously.

But they say lover falls uncontrollably --
I fell and fell all over again
kissing ground and cold soil,
unrequited hopelessly.
