The Tender Heart of Spring

the first
sensation of spring…
exquisite blooms

rose
buds in fancy
clothing…
deep thoughts
of you

the colorful butterfly…
flash dancing
in the wind

behold
the sumptuous plume
of an egret…
sowing the seeds
of spring with gusto

your infectious smile
sublime… warming the fertile
crescent of my soul

you
the mystic poem
stir great lust…
in the tender heart
of spring

the son rises
in the garden of desire…
immense fecundity

virgo
in her element…
demurely
dressed in rainbow
colors

you soar
like an egret on heat…
oh giggling beauty

honey
bees in the spring
blossom…
the rapturous sound
of creation unfold
