[hometext] => This is a rewrite of a poem I posted here a few years ago called the Season of Love
[bodytext] => Sakura: the one I loved In spring. The cherry blossoms invade the sky like pink samurais. Battles lost. Tears shed. Broken, the warriors blanket the earth in a million pieces. In summer. The cherries ripen. The juice stains your lips a sweet smeared rouge the color of the pomegranates that Hades fed Persephone. If only she would stay a little while longer. If only I could touch you. I think to devour your ripe lips. In autumn. The cherries fall. Tumble to the earth red Lucifers. Tempt me. Touch me. More! In winter. Stark and naked, the trees die like the sentiment that never escaped your lips or the body I never grasped or even the tears you were too proud to let me see. This is for you. Shatter me still.
