I dedicate this poem to Mameha:

My life is trapped

There is only transparency

No real living

No really emotion

Just surviving

Like a cherry blossom

Life does not last forever

And thank the gods it does not

My luscious youthful face

The moistened red lips

The smooth and powerful silk

The illusion of human nature

Beauty is less than that of worthless

For in the end

Neither the idea nor the possessor wins

Seasons come, years go

The days lob into each other

The blossoming of a cherry passes

The wilting begins

When the cold snow blows

It is the end

I have had my blossom

My prime

My pride

Now I am having my wilt

My winter

My death

Nay, spring comes again

New life

A new blossom

And the old one

A memory

A/N- ok everyone, there is ONE count 'em ONE person left. And that will be, the very starter of this novel- sayuri's father. He will be the final one.
