Stories of passion blow like yellow pollen
That settle on the calm of my soul’s pool,
You step from your robe a flower brazen
And I bask in your fragrance like a fool.
It is sunset and birds cry in the wind
Your porcelain white vase dips in the pond
Another flower it contains within,
As lilies and lotus float gently on.
Surrounding flowers now close for the day
Unable to match your wading beauty,
The night breeze makes the willow to sway
As the last sun beam does finally flee.
I light the lanterns giving spheres of light
Then calmly I walk off into the night.

Gloom

Prof... I liked this and most particularly the last 2 lines

I light the lanterns giving spheres of light
Then calmly I walk off into the night.

Thanks for the enjoyable read...

Fancy leaving all that beauty behind! I love the scent of this.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

The will to just walk away...
Beautiful and sad at the same time.

Enjoyed this very much, Professor...
