Entwined

This passion inflames two hearts that interweave, 
they give off the strong perfume  
of entwined roses clinging to strawberry shrubs;
distant is the memory of snows!

No other sky above this meadow glitters more,
how clear is the way to enthralling Paradise!
And if we bind together, this vernal promise
must endure as the earth itself, evermore!

Tales of Kings and Queens in love were lost to time and spoil;
enduring is this new tale in which caresses and kisses burn;
this place in time is as eternal as gray ashes in a small urn, 
never scattered to wind or sea, buried in soil deeper than coil. 

The Passiflora flower bears a resemblance to the pink daisy,
its aura of solar beads is the crown given for the rarest beauty;
and such are the glowing glances of woman filled with worth,  
a last surrender to my fervent kisses that induce blissful death!  
 

Entered in Broken Wings contest,
" Entwined "
