Poison for the Heart

 

 

Love  15 / 20
Beauty (or a bodhisattva's lament)

A clover crested hillock,
A lush carpet of virulent green.
Fragile bouquets gilded by brilliant fire,
In a sapphire sky,
Where crystal palaces skud gracefully by.

A restless brook burbles in rocky delight,
Chattering of distant peaks,
Pillars of the sky,
Cloaked in pure white sabel,
Locks of icy wind cascading from top-most crown,
Where a lone eagle soars in majestic pride.

All dissolves to mud when I see her smile.
