    Nights of the broken Cherry blossom



    On this lovely night, I don't need another
    broken cherry blossom beneath my father's
    orchard trees--Yet, here he comes, my mind goes...

    To the candles in the sky, being fogged
    by the rain that floods my eyes, nestled
    on by a pale crescent moon...

    Like tiny souls, illuminating my way
    to an unknown heaven that brightens my stay,
    accenting the darkness, these angelic protectors...

    Like a fine fleck of golden dust
    that numbs, that's why in them I trust,
    the breaking of my cherry blossom

    This should have been a winner. One of the most beautifully composed poems I have read.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
