Cherry Tree Blossoms....& Me

An observation: Strength we have as women.....relationships, human nature.......Actually saw blooms scattered a few inches thick...wind was roaring & cold.

Cherry Tree Blossoms…& Me

 

Cherry tree blooms tossed by strong winds,

But isn’t spring time their best friend?

Ominous feelings of loss appearing again

Showered by desperate allusions…

 

Tiny pink petals falling like snow;

Laying close together on concrete roads

Thrown upon hard surfaces from security

Of two glorious trees side by side they glide

 

But took notice one was taller and leaned

Together but helpless as fragile petals fly

Free….Landing unraveled stacked packed

I wish to help them…doesn’t anyone see

 

To cradle them like a baby and hold closely

Feel their touch; such beauty to behold

To be so young, but yet feels so old

Blowing and shoved hard aside rocky roads

 

Seeking peaceful respite in the bends

Wondering how the storm began

So very sick and tired of bitter ends

A sadness flows deeply within my soul

 

I know it’s too late; destiny’s hard swaying toll

Taking the changes in stride, just wanting to survive

Tiny seedling with such innocence now in doubt

Prayers for soft warming breezes erased from boughs

 

Reminiscent of generous love given heaved about

Hope rises like the sprouts now pushed around

Indignant swerved curves on controlling shoals

Cherry blossoms once warmed now ice cold  

 

Flying into eternity cannot deny the folds

And creases coming directly at me screaming

Wastefulness; Anger, Anger, Anger and Pain

Piled together for years and the pink blooms

Just flew….no flurrying worries to attend to

No problems to realize; bleeding them dry

Can we slowly wilt away in coldness?

Lonely forgetting our true boldness

Allowing confidence to be drained by

Miniature twangs of jealous creatures

With useless brains steadfast to defame  

 

Overcome and shocked, extreme sadness shrilling inside from cherry tree blooms? Their life was short-lived but they are now free; born to give beauty to humanity and a belligerent wind came along…Thermalised air coming from every direction….on a parade of pink petal lined clouds floating lightly released from agony knowing sometimes a hard curb is better than enduring a liar’s words….the blossoms that fall are just beginning their God given journey…

I see those little delicate petals as all the women who have fallen or been put down but still are so soft and beautiful.
They need to be scooped up and cherished. The one bad word is very fitting. I wouldn't worry about it.
There is a strong message here. Well done!

I think I LOVE your take on it!!! thank you so very much....

[Marcel Grant]

Oh wow really well done. I'm not a poet, but this was powerful.

I take it to mean all the bad things happening in the world that we waste or take for granted. Imagery was just awesome. :)

[Confuser]

I like your take on it: but this poem, I wrote at 3:00 am, at the Daughter's; I saw the blossoms, it's about abuse...I'm glad you like it. Thank you so much for reading. I cannot stop writing or I lose focus. Anyway....back to reading.

[Aatharva Banaitkar]

[Benita-Staebell M - Kin..]

like the devastation after a storm...the broken branches the caved in roofs, the torn apart houses....abuse does this to the human....and some call this love?

it is a "crazy a*s kind of love" for sure...

we seek peace within the crevasses of those storms...but should we be in that position? to have to wait out the rage...?
not so...we need to be able to move to a climate where those raging storms are nill...and the weather is much more pleasant within the relationship...

well done.

You have to much good here to worry about one bad word to turn me away your love and caring ways deserving of more attention than I can ever give to this write. You write with such blessing such meanings and all your might. WIth nature right behind the spring like attitude You deserve brighter beginnings and happier endings. God Bless. Happy Easter.

Hahaha..the last line brought out the Ron Burgundy in you... in fact I admit, now the whole poem seems more awesome as I re-read it in his voice.. mind you, he was more tolerant towards women in the second movie..

That and jokes aside... this is a great write.. I'm not much for social causes but I think I get what you wish to portray here.. Women may be perceived to be the weaker sex but everyone knows this deep down it is not the same... Feminism is a bunch load of crap and I am glad this poem does not exhibit those sentiments.. It is full of grace and poise... well until the last line at least..

Great metaphors.. took me a while to get the hang of it but I am sure I did.. I hope I did.

[Confuser]

Stonz: Anything relating to Ron Burgundy makes me smile: I agree totally with your comments about Feminism: Ridiculous....Wasn't certain about that sub-section and the curse word: but I tried! I'm so very glad YOU are beginning to see my Personality...Thank you so very much!
