Loss

Original Submission by BARZA BATHOOL

CHERRY BLOSSOM

The beauty most seen in,

the violence most lived in,

in trances of a Cherry Blossom,

where your heart merrily blossoms

In silence with smiling thoughts,

in violence with valiant thoughts,

lives your heart, an innocent child

As charming as it can be,

just how you deceived me,

in variants of colours

As short lived it may come,

shared same fate “of my one”

Like cherry blossom,

even if you’re lost from this world,

you’ll never be lost in my heart.
