Cherry Blossoms

The ephemeral nature of love      
Blooms in radiant splendor      
Exploding in passionate red lace      
Caressed in lines of pink satin        
In ecstasy so brief it seems unfair      
For so intense a pleasure to die so quietly      
After the roar of apogee bursting from your flower      
Colored my world in strokes of pure artistry      
That paints and brushes have failed to portray      
And the ink of verse has earnestly strived to describe      
Somehow nothing in nature can compare to the natural flow      
Erupting from the depths of your swirling Volcanic storm        
Striking my fancy with surging currents of electricity      
As thunder booms above clouds of soft silk petals on your tree      
Branching out to surround me in your song of springs desire      
With the sweetest scent my senses have ever come to taste    
Cherry passions bleed, clouding my vision in thick auburn mist      
Your fragrance and beauty showers my heart in raging pain      
For knowing these fleeting pleasures cannot be sustained      
Immortalized in poems spoken in whispers in the dark      
I would sacrifice this temporary bliss for one eternal kiss
