Easy on the eyes
Humble porcelain smiles
Secrets beauty keeps
Secrets wrapped in sheets
Seemingly so seemly
Skin like driven snow
Men of power fearing
Their pillow talk
Lead them to their prisons
Leave the petals scatter
Effortlessly free
One day in May
Some day in May
One day in May
Only today, just for a day
Without second thought
Cherries will be plucked
As the blossoms wither
Makeup deconstructs
One day in May
Some day in May
One day in May
Only today, just for a day

Standing here in my Kimono
Never been to Okinawa, Kyoto or Tokyo
But exquisite beauty
Volatility I know
Hanami, Hanami, Hanami
Many faces I have been
In many ways I have sinned
In the night
Many faces I have been
In many ways I have sinned
Expectations, fleeting dreams
In the night, lost in memories
Ephemeral and fleeting
Readily accepting what might have been
Falling leaves
Overthought destinies
Hanami, Hanami, Hanami
Many faces I have been
In many ways I have sinned
In the night
Many faces I have been
In many ways I have sinned
Expectations, fleeting dreams
In the night, lost in memories
