Kissed me in a flash <br />of lightning...storm breaks in heart. <br />Such love is...revealed. <br />Naked bodies shivering <br />with the fear of our delight. <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br />Caught upon a hook <br />our shadows hang on the wall <br />like forgotten clothes <br />us still now...unmoved...quite as <br />two old statues kissing. <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br />Wearing nothing but <br />little flower in your hair <br />that had stowed away <br />as you passed by in beauty <br />flower pleased to adorn you. <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br />Hibiscus...bloom...gone <br />all in the same day...each day <br />bloom again in new way. <br />Moon too crumbles exhausted <br />makes again its own beauty. <br /> <br />******** <br /> <br />New morning glories <br />greeting us like old lovers <br />just as if they were <br />the morning glories that we <br />loved to see so much last year.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/amalfitan-memories-tankas/
