This is Where Spring Begins .. Haru Ga Hajimaru

This is Where Spring Begins .. Haru Ga Hajimaru

A Poem by Neville

This is Where Spring Begins .. Haru Ga Hajimaru

 


In the heat of that particular moment,


he recalled, how he had once


traced her name, with the warm pad


of his index finger, in the thin


film of ice, that had formed overnight


on the inside of their shared


bedroom window .. And then, how she


had turned into him, all smiley

   

and snug before whispering haru ga hajimaru ..

Is said that true words written on glass always leave a magical signature: even the most modern cleaner can't rid them. Can only guess that only burned and buried ash rots and fades. Must look through my warmly retained favourites. Some words mean forever.

A beautiful offering, sir: many thanks for sharing and - happy everything.

Bet you were students back then!
For some reason I always put a thin film of ice inside your window with student life. 😀

whatever is the name, the scene you portray Neville is dreamy….. and quite sensual…. i can picture it in my minds eye…we just had a light snow and nothing better than snuggling (or more) on a cold wintry night…. this opens one mind to many possibilities!
lovely

Thanks Thomas .. Neville 😎👍
The simple act of tracing a name on frosted glass becomes a quiet, magical unfolding. Haru ga hajimaru lands like a whisper of warmth, a reminder that even the smallest gestures can signal the beginning of something bright and alive.

Thank you so much James .. I owe ya my friend 😎👍
A poem of lovely contrasts here Neville. The promise of spring when winter lingers. Visually beautiful and tender with it. Just perfectly penned words and emotions, tied up with a pretty red ribbon. Lovely.

Thank you so much Neville. 💜
This is so tender.. it feels like a single heartbeat stretched across memory.

I love the intimacy of tracing her name on the icy window, and how that small, ephemeral gesture blooms into something lasting in the mind.

The way “haru ga hajimaru” enters at the end is perfect, a whisper that carries both warmth and the quiet promise of beginnings.

It’s simple, yet profoundly intimate

nice work Nev! title, theme and setting all clearly in my head as i read ... especially like the heat of the moment contrasted with the frosted window ... what a delight being snug with one we love intimately .. nice work indeed ... very much enjoyed the reading experience .. i tried to find a translation but too many options .. i assume it is the same as the title .. is that correct?
