cherry

Missing image

 

he painted cherry blossoms
                           along her spine
and nurtured them
across her shoulders


she welcomed their colours

into her nicotine stained

lungs

and ran her fingers
over aromas
that pointed

                   to the sun



he showed her the seasons
with resting eyelids


                 and reminded her
in the summer
she could lay amid
the august flourish

and in winter
she'd be the
                    bud
that melts the ice

    i'd love to be the bud that melts ice. what a wonderful image you give me with this one. season poetry can be cliche (yep, i know, ive written some. lol) but i have never read anything of yours that is. so well done.
