Lover's Dance

My citadel of commerce
Composed for pleasure
Is prudent in every weather

Archetypes of romance prance
Through billowy meadows together
Absorbing sunlight to roam
Like a rainbow summer day

You are outstretched to believe
Filling verdant memory
And lucrative thought
Our bastion ever engrossed

This is how we fell to us
You, incapable of rust
I was brave enough to reach
Stormy banks on fuming seas

Praying with the mantis
Animals advance knowing threshold
While admiring your migrant beads

Come back to the palace
A feast prepared thoroughly
Sacred for the falcon evening
Grateful we bow and eat
