For George Hiromo
In my niwa, lovely garden
Ren'ai yume, oh how sweet
I stop beneath the torii
Soft petals at my feet
The petals of the hana
Sasayake of the rose
Beautiful ruby bara
A yuri in repose
A lovely quiet peace we know
And as the lotus nods
My koibito stands beside me
We pause to thank the gods
Oh my sweet koaishi
My love, my cherished king
Oh mono no aware wo shiro
My life, my everything
