Subversive - A Collection of Poetry - 7. One At A Time

One At A Time

 

Slowly the petals
Descend upon the water
Of lake and clear streams
The Sakura tree looses
All its majestic blossoms

My vain spring is over
Best days of my youth wasted
Pining after one
Who wouldn't return my desires
My affections burnt to Ash

Sure as the petals
Descend upon the surface
Of lake and clear streams
They neither colour the flow
Nor perfume the cold water

Such evocative images paint a picture of melancholy. I can see the canvas vividly. This is exquisitely done.

I can see this tree dropping it's spent yet still beautiful blossoms. The last stanza tells everything. Wonderful poem.

Thank you guys. But the problem is, this poem was not supposed to be posted till Wednesday evening in India. And the font is wrong too. New software glitches I guess.

Oh.. that's a shame ... obviously it worked but what font had you selected?

I chose Currier New to elucidate the emotional frigidity.  The current system may be great for prose writers, but completely useless for the architecture of poetry. :(
