Instead of investing your time reading thick calculus books why open the stitches of my skin and smell the bare flesh and blood that existed primarily because it was lonely. Instead of studying a cell wall under the microscope, you should have tried to locate where I was behind the walls that I carelessly built. Instead of fixing someone’s car, come home fast and see why I broke down and be acquainted with the beating my heart, at least listen to it once in awhile like an old radio playing on repeat, your voice is the only track in my tape and your existence is the miracle of a thousand years.
Yes, this is the extremes. Welcome to my love.

She is mysterious, as strange as a daytime dream,
So remarkable, I see a
Princess dressed in a kimono covered with cherry blossom leaves,
Floating down river, under a canopy
Of pink and white Sakura trees.

She is so extraordinary, as unique as a double rainbow at sunrise,
So dreamy, as dreamy as a seaside sunset,
Her unconditional love scatters,
Like cherry blossoms in a fresh breeze,
Seen in rippling waves of sunshine.

So fantastical, as fantastic as a pink rose blooming in the desert,
So magical, as magical as our dreams coming true,
Princess Sakura singing, like an Angel,
She spreads her wings and flies away,
Like vanishing Sakura, leaves at the end of spring.

Princess Sakura, you will live forever in my dreams...

i have fallen in love
with the blush of the cherry blossom
the delicate scent
the bloom on the branch

i have fallen in love
with the cascade of the cherry blossom
the clusters like grapes
and patterns of light and shade

i have fallen in love
with a pink so pink
fresher than strawberry ice-cream
or revlon’s baby pink gloss

i have fallen in love
with cherry blossoms in the breeze
petals flutter and hover
like snowflakes in the night

i have fallen in love
with every day, every season, every flower
every birth, every death, every sickness
because life changes and alters

i have fallen in love
with life, with love, with pain
i have fallen in love
i have fallen in love

the flower that blooms in adversity
is the most rare and beautiful one......
like these cherry blossoms......
it reminds us how to not lose our hopes....
.no matter how long the winter stays.....
a spring is sure to follow......
.and how we are blessed of being alive under a cherry tree....
.leisurely taking in its beauty  .....
.sure i want to be laid
under a cherry tree
when i leave my mortal robes in this world...
...such is its beauty........

I love you
Even I try to be numb
When I don't wanna feel
I still feel that love
My head is dizzy
My stomachs upset
And my cheeks are wet
The room is spinning
Nothing can make it go away
Now I'm crying
Because it seems like you can push it away
I can't
I always know I love you
Even when I don't wanna feel
I still feel that love
I always love you
Even when I wanna be numb
The only thing I can feel
Is the love I have for you
