Samurai Amidst Cherry Blossoms 0 [Waterfall of Leaves]
by Alastre ZidlerA soft rustle.
Strings of bleeding characters
Across her back spelling out
Devotion in watery dreams.
Photos of her chest refracted
In the moonlit Shinto Temple,
The sliding of his hand
Upon her breast
By her hand.
Gods are here
With words and swords.
A waterfall of leaves,
The sound of snowfall
Sounds that words make
From a starving mouth, half
His own, half still mangled
In watery dreams:
A wish: I could kiss your
Thighs and die with your
Hands touching me.

| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 07/15/04 at 08:20 PM Stark imagery, love soft and dark and sad. "The sound of snowfall", a paradox. *nodding in appreciation* And something unsettling I can't quite put my finger on. |

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 09/14/06 at 05:22 AM Simply beautiful. I can almost sense the diagonal characteristic that is in Japanese paintings. Congratulations on POTD!
