My Dear Sweet Geisha

Side Tracked-Minai

I once read in a book

That pale white skin is considered beauty in Japan.

Beautiful geishas with their white skin and dark hair

Their beautiful red lips.

I once read in a book

That there is a style of dark tanned girls bleach blonde hair in Japan.

Stylish Ganguro with their Cali girl skin, hair, and clothes

Their sparkly rhinestone eyes.

She is a beautiful maiko...

Traditional in all ways..

Her shining hair and beautiful grace.

She studies hard to be a geisha.

And I am a rebel

No where near traditional...

I am a neon rainbow of sparkles and charms.

I am a Ganguro looked down upon.

And then I saw her on the street.

Not one for Geishas...

But she...she caught my eye.

Gorgeous grey eyes and a pink yukata.

I must know her immediatly.

I forget what I am doing and follow her on the train

Talking to her is forbidden but I can't help it.

"Hello my beauty" i say.
