A Poem from my debut book of poetry, 'My Secret Heart', available from amazon.com...


...I Watch...


I watch the tender snow fall

Like petals to the ground,

They fall so soft and silently

They do not make a sound,



The sky is low and leadened

A gun-metal gray and sad,

Reminds me of how my heart is

Over the love that I once had,



Though the winter winds blow hard

Through the stark and naked trees

I wrap myself in the blanket

Of warm sweet memories,



The Mizu River flows beneath me

And I watch it from the walls,

A samurai and sentry

I've answered duty's call,



But when duty's bond is over

And I return home and free,

Will I find my Love there?

Will she wait for me...



...Samishii Suzume~...
