Memories have become smoke in my eyes
smoke in the hand mirror of the winds
drifting like heart-shaped leaves on a tree
burning into jasmine embers of thee
sweet fragrance of our love softly lingers
upon dormant branches of eternity
as long as a willow has faithful roots
memories will grow deeply within
if you do not return like a butterfly
it does not mean our love did not exist
once danced upon the smile of my heart
sweet as jasmine embers in my eyes
upon weeping willows are stars' midnight blue
still spellbound, whenever i think of you




You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.

One word will have to do the justice here. Beautiful.

You shant understand the warmth of a lovers heart lest you have felt the chill of anothers.

objects as part of the theme...I envy this

Everything is always so colorful in your poems.  How do you do that?
This is the line that struck me hardest
"if you do not return like a butterfly
it does not mean our love did not exist"
I know that we understand eachother on that subject.

enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
