Loosen the Braids

Loosen the braids Upon the white marble of night Let his hand wander through Your hair's noble origin As the emerald of his heart That faded through The lonely long nights Becomes green Loosen the braid Upon the white marble of night For a long time You were decreed to love Like a thousand poems Written on the face of a wall Loosen the braids Upon the white marble of night Then toss to him A light thread of happiness A vehement torrent From the rain god Perhaps a drop lives Deep inside the oyster That becomes a pearl
