Shallow Happiness. I fell in love with cherry blossoms when my 4th year high school teacher asked our class to write a haiku with cherry blossoms as the subject.
I longed for it just like a longed for true love (wapak!).
I even dreamt of sitting underneath its tree and just seize the moment but I wasn't bold enough back then, I don't usually go after my dreams until now that I have so many compelling whys.
Anyway, I thought Japan is the only answer but apparently Palawan even have their own blossoms ( balayong) and of course Vancouver ( said to be also famous for its thousands of sakuras lining many streets and parks). Someone so dear was kind enough to capture the beautiful cherry blossoms for me ( Thanks love^_^), my heart is just filled with simple joy so I wanna share this with you my friends :)
Im no poet but ganun talaga, nagiging makata ka pag masaya :P so bear with my short, amateur poem i wrote on each picture hehehe...
SWEET SAKURA
 |
You finally came after the lonely winter A majestic scene that can last forever Your sheer beauty they say is fleeting How can you keep my heart beating?
|
 |
Your pink petals dance with the wind Oh the way you sway is just splendid I can just stare in awe for a time Is it selfish to wish you were mine? |
 |
Surrogate, that’s how I used other trees To satisfy my longing for your breeze There are red and yellow But nothing compares to you my fellow |
 |
Yes, I have never seen you yet Still my heart won’t fret Japan, Korea, or even in Canada Sakura, peot kkot or cherry blossoms I will surely see you soon |
 |
Oh and one last thing I shall bring a boy with me We will sit underneath your tree Enthralled by his smile and big round eyes, so lovely I know you will both enchant me truly Fulfill my dream of Hanami
* oh, that hands.. I'm longing to hold thy hands |
