(Original Version)
Sweet taste of blossoms
They catch my tongue as I walk
Chery blossoms sway
Within the small park
Couples with marriage in mind
Scar atop a bridge
The sweet taste fades
That young girl always in mind
A silhouette of fear
Vibrant colors fade
The sun recedes to stars
No one notices
No one notices
The black mark atop the bridge
The silhouette descend
No one cares to look
Sweetest tastes never last long
Chery blossoms sway
No one notices
Another day finds its end
Sweet taste of nothing

No Home, Sweet Child Blossom
A Modern Renga by Bellie-Boo (me)
Sweet taste of blossoms—
they brush my tongue as I walk.
Cherry branches sway.
In the small park’s hush,
couples dream of wedding rings;
a scar marks the bridge.
The sweetness dissolves.
That young girl returns in thought—
a shadow of fear.
Colors bleed to dusk.
The sun folds into the stars.
No one turns to see.
No one turns to see—
the black mark upon the bridge,
the shadow descend.
No one stops to look.
Sweetest things never last long.
Cherry branches sway.
No one turns again.
Another day disappears—
taste of nothing sweet.
