geisha girl, lotus pearl
zen gardens float on frond of ferns
and green peacock feathers
blending colors of cherry blossoms and rainbows
but how does your garden flow?
geisha girl, lotus pearl
bleeding into blue cracked teacups
empty teardrops tainted in black mascara
on white kabuki art drawn masks
porcelaine in a garden cannot grow
geisha girl, lotus pearl
locked up dreams wrapped too tight
in dyed kimono and dainty teacakes
breaking inside fleeting beauty
a dying, colorless heart of a barefoot courtesan
among the satin blush petals of the cherry blossoms
like snow cover atop a lush sage grass
eclipsing a garden in kyoto where foreign ivy
and a drove of prismatic blossoms
bring artistry to the dull blacks and grays of the city
she sits a dowager queen amongst the flowers
who are apprentice to her beauty
she is geisha
hair by veracity.afterthought
skin by aida.ewing
kimono by june.dion
