Cherry blossom
A poem about love's fleeting joy
Blossoming love during a springtime stroll
Lost in the magic, you were pouring for me
Embracing until we hear April thunder roll
We parted beneath the cherry blossom tree
*************
Falling pink petals as I was tripping over you
Our chemistry makes my world Crayola bright
Vibrant purple, vivid yellow, and summer blue
The way you looked at me was my favorite sight
*************
Why did you let your cherry blossom girl blow away?
I bloomed while you couldn’t grow past being a seed.
Time marches on, and you remain stuck in your gray
You were what I wanted, but you weren’t what I need
*************
Fall is coming, and I’m falling in love with me
Creating magic as I author the story of my life
Have you ever visited our cherry blossom tree?
Or did you cut it down with your winter knife?

This poem is the third in my series, where I title each poem after a track listing from Kacey Musgraves’s star-crossed album. I’m looking forward to sharing my creative challenge with my readers. Thank you for the support!

THE REASON WE CAN NEVER BUILD A PERFECT CLOCK
The asymmetry of time, a fundamental enigma in physics, prompts exploration into the essence of temporal progression. This pursuit unveils the intriguing reality that constructing an immaculate clock is inherently unattainable. Whether scrutinizing subatomic realms or contemplating the vast expanse of the observable universe, mathematical frameworks underpin scientific understanding. Yet, the inclusion of time within these equations poses a perplexity, as foundational laws of physics exhibit temporal symmetry. Consequently, these laws seamlessly extrapolate both past and future states of systems with equivalent precision, blurring the distinction between temporal orientations.
