    About this ebook

    "Cherry blossoms under the stars" is a collection of 25 poems about love- Falling both in and out of it. Beginning with doubt and ending in reminiscence, "Cherry blossoms under the stars" demonstrates how love is beautiful and tainted but worth it in the end.

    Inspired by the simplicity and purity of cherry blossoms as love and the vast endlessness of the stars as the uncertainty of love, "Cherry blossoms under the stars" explains how just as everything comes in cycles, the flowers too must wither and love must come to an end.

      Shrouded in the denseness

      Of a raven midnight,

      Where stars are clouded,

      The moon–a pin prick

      Of radiance blinded,

      Veiled by onyx and shades of cobalt–

      Deep and endless, infinitely unfathomable;

      Midnight
