A Geisha in the Rain
Published Saturday, April 22, 2006 by O. Elias Lira | E-mail this post
Swimming in the shallows
The yellow flower and silent lotos
Moonlight slanting through the rain.
Consider the radiance and passion grace of Geisha,
The brightening wave.
I am so dazzled her beauty drinks my eyes
I am so frightened her hands, and small voice ashamed my face.
For so many years:
I keep thinking about the end.
