Crimson Flower

I think of you,
the crimson flower
shining in the blazing sun

My mouth waters
for your delightful kiss,
the taste of your flower

My life desires 
your life-sustaining nectar
running through my body

My soul is enlightened
by your pleasant grace,
the essence of you

My heart churns
for your petals around
raining down, touching me

My world wishes
for you always...
the sweetness of my life.
