I dare say my heart of late is written in the buds,
thus I awake to the smell of indifference in the flowers--
ah, my foolish soul to bleed its eyes shut;
never to taste that of an unspotted beauteous
flute that makes no sound but the power of
a scent within the air, to breathe like fire.

Whilst yet she wanders what to say
’tis just words that bloom today--
unread, but predictable; have I
wandered lost into a wishing well.

Finding my dreams for what they really are
all but a nervous thought written down--
laced inside my heart, to hold secure to
these thoughts I know just like the flowers
sometimes I get over-watered.

Still, go on…listen to the buds dancing
each containing truth within the movement,
hush now for I sadly do not have nature’s hand
to appear after all has wilted anew, but
we my love need to be joined.

So I’ve woven a special bud for you
which shall be called our own--
thus in awakening I shall smell you
everyday, even though you do not know.
