The day is whole of heart,
flushing all in soft, swirling dance,
His bold hands stroke, caress
the tender cheeks of all dames alike.
To her, a visit unexpected-
She blushes, a lofty story tumbling
in flourished cascade,
filling unseasonable robes heavy.
Rich emeralds rise, burning
on jade alight with fresh ember-
A fullness fluttering, a languid bliss-
Suddenly, a ripe joy once more.
To her king in all his glory,
A fickle man, yet the crown jewel-
That shard of impossible diamond,
That memory lighting from within,
bound in the sea of sky, a gift
from the finest merchant of charms.
