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
