As my eyes settle
upon my one
luminous flower
The light of its flame
burns, as my only desire
What you see as faults
or a rip in your petals
Simply bring to my lips
and make it sweet
like honey and wine
My soul's pollen
as I forget every other
like star dust
I absorb your colors
and trickles from your eyes
If you used to kneel, pleading
with heaven too many times
Look into my eyes
as I kiss
the scars on your knees
If you still remember rain
open yourself for me
My soul will kiss yours
as our passions release
one by one, every pain
