Majesty Of LOVE
Utterly at the ineffable abode
Under the trellis bower of our hearts
As the innocent image of LOVE
emanate clearly...

So many think
- If there at all -
Paradise is someplace further away
Than their first thought on being born,

In restless dreams 
a dandelion soul yearns
to reside within the...

I could grow roses, and collect their nectar,
For newly wedded pairs’ perfume.

Foreigners would slowly have
Seeing the fiery sun...

Falls with the poisoned wine of lies

A tepid breeze delicately descends,
embedding a sphere of embers engulfed in saffron flames,
but intrinsic illuminations cannot soothe somber sorrows.

Nocturnal pondering drifts to magical...

Filled with (not so) fresh corpses and newly beloveds.

Ay! Where’s gone that eyes-smile, you gave me? 
Why are you for few days badly brooding!

See!

Sing now, in celebration
Of the loosening of Winter's grasp,
Days days lengthen, hinting of warmth to come,
When the sun will embrace the earth with heat
And make her laugh with a sound her devoted can hear...
