Your golden blossoms shake my longing heart
From my sweet sleep awakened dappled light
Remind me I have loved you from the start
A trembling kiss of dazzling aching bright.
But what if days of sunrise come to end
Or golden flowers wake too late to bud
Or heavy fragile stems begin to bend
And blossoms flutter fragile to the mud?
Then I will reach both hands to catch your fall
For just a fleeting moment of your beauty
Embrace the velvet raindrop of your petal
That lights in grace upon my lips so gently.
Whose fragrant love is sweet and more divine
Whose tender heart shines brighter next to mine
