Behind ivory walls of rice paper
The humble gardener does kneel
Employing clippers he now snips
Tiny pine shoots with patient zeal
While mindful of his Bonsai task
Catching the needles that stray
He daydreams of being a warlord
With his own garden to display
Floating on whispers and sighs
Captured from her many admirers
A young geisha glides into his room
The humble gardener is who she desires
Assuring him they were all alone
Her arms gently encircled his waist
Red lips tempting so slightly apart
He crushes her to him for a taste
Then enters the furious warlord
Not a shred of compassion in place
With the courage she could not afford
The geisha strikes back at his face
Hands bound they kneel on a platform
Humble gardener and geisha before all
Unlike the bonsai they could not conform
But not sorry to have followed love's call
No regrets had they on point of death
But that they had more precious time
Cut down were they like the bonsai
Ashes scattered like needles of pine
