Sakura Garden Romance
- Sakura Garden Romance -
Based on some of my past-life memories…
In soft, caressing heat, of these summer months…
I am reminded of a passion I knew in another life.
And it causes me to blush red as cherry blossom!
In desire, I have long sought what my soul wants,
But my seeking has brought me chaos, and strife!
Even so, I bow before my fate, for it is awesome.
No less so is my heart, filled with so much hunger,
For love, for lust, for the fulfillment of my passion!
How I burn with it, consumed sometimes by this…
And yet I endure, and brave each distant thunder.
Long have I existed and persisted in such fashion!
Wandering like a Ronin in search of an ideal bliss.
I blush, as I recall his hand upon my soft bosom…
His face smooth, ever as beautiful as any maiden!
We stood in a garden, all filled with Sakura trees.
I was born a man, but chose to live as a woman…
Embracing beauty like a dream, never to awaken!
In his arms, I was a timid girl, with shaking knees.
His hands caressed the folds of my silk Hakama…
Whilst his breath was upon my hair, as I did gasp.
Kisses upon my neck, then around, upon my lips!
To him I was a princess out of some old drama…
I so felt like a goddess, in the heaven of his grasp.
We embraced, his hands finding, my slender hips!
Oh sweet love, what the Sakura garden beheld…
While in the heat of this night I remember it entire!
Like the petal of a flower, I felt so very delicate…
Though my hand, many times, a sword did wield.
I tried to think of poetry to match all my inner fire,
But when speaking of Heaven verse is inadequate.
I know not, what brought this back to me tonight!
Unbidden, it came into my mind, like a phantom…
A glimpse of an age now long ago, but never lost.
I welcome this memory of one moment of delight!
To my turbulent spirit, it is like an oasis, of calm…
Cooling the heat of the evening, like a gentle frost.

Thank you, Grace! I think love truly has only those boundaries that we put upon it, and this poem is about looking back at a love I once knew in another life. A love that was without bounds, and truly transcendant. Such a love is not something the soul can ever forget... and so I remember, and put to verse all that I felt about it. I am happy you saw the beauty in my humble words! :D

Humble they may be, Jessica, but they make for epic stories. You should write a book on them. You could have series of all the poems who wrote on DUP.

I believe that I shall indeed take your excellent advice, my friend! I had written a journal years ago that took up a good nine hundred plus pages in length, which took me a good decade to write, and it took that long only because it was my daily thoughts put to paper over that period of time. At first, I thought about the possibility of publishing it... but it was never quite the right quality to warrant publication. However, the works I have done here at Deep Underground are definitely worthy of publication, so I think later in the year I will begin to put these all together so I can create a new book, but one with publication in mind from the very onset. Since I have already written so much, it will not take long to complete once I get started on it. Best of all, I can put it on a disk to send it to my publisher easier than I could have that big old paper manuscript (tome is a better word for it). Thanks for giving me such a brilliant and truly inspired idea! I thank you very much, for that. And, for being such a great friend. :)
