Rose of dawn,
from her cheeks the fragrance
of a world bathed in wine.
~
Guided by her scent
he wandered,
in the wind a butterfly
~
Reading her skin –
letters soaking his lips,
a hot, fervent wine.
~
Night is a river –
her dark hair flowing,
roaring with the stars.
~
Howling winds –
like weeping flames
the piano notes shiver
