Sweet Blossom
rich as cream
your silky petals
Nature's
celebration of love
infinite pleasures
silver spring mornings
peering down your satin canal
damp and smooth
overcome by your perfume
I eat your petals
infusing your nectar
into my soul
sweeten this spirit
every time you whisper-
nostalgic notes
resonate-
boyhood mornings
ancestral funeral ceremonies
saccharine presents borne adorning
the gild of first love’s
fervent passion
blossoms floating white
in a blue willow bowl
the incipient light of spring
still shining
in a young man’s heart
