I Sing You The Morning
by Sharmagne Leland-St.John

Note: Sharmagne writes:
"Longing never rises from the heart..frequently we find ourselves at different ends of the earth form our beloved."

my love,
I sing you the morning
as sunlight drenches
the Tokyo sky
and small brown wrens
gather to fly
while I,
in a blue silken kimono
with chrysanthemum sash
gaze through my window
at a porcelain sky
the colour of ash,
and diamonds, and rust
in my minds eye
I picture you
oceans away
and thus
erotically
I begin my day
as I evoke
the memory
of the thrust
of your hips
yours
is the name
that escapes
the darkness
of my parted lips
Yes, I,
in a blue silken kimono
with chrysanthemum sash
gaze at a sky
the colour of ash
and diamonds, and rust.


Tokyo, Japan
