Sakuras

along the dimly-lit street,
1
on both sides a stand of sakuras,
2
gazillion petals opened to greet new lovers-
3
Blushed were the stars,
4
Who hid among soft clouds,
5
Who whispered curiously, blowing sakuras,
6
And made them dropped like weightless pearls,
7
Onto the naked path where our shadows fell.
8
Oh how beautiful, how sweet.

It was a year ago, I thought,
10
All left is a string of pearls I try to hold back.
11
No more sakuras, tonight-
