Your Heart Is of Fresh

There I stood faint-hearted at the mercy 
Of your requite.
 
Hearing that rumbling thunder
In my mind
I plucked a red rose that withered 
Straightaway as my spreadable disquiet 
Infested it
Left, centre, right
In my desperate quest to stop the storm
I felt bubbling up, bubbling up, in you.

Oh! I nearly fainted to get it that there was no rainstorm
Building up but a warm welcoming heart

On that day I would have you crucified 
If the wrong was against me.
