Upon my eyes befell a flower dressed in black, Striking in beauty, noble in act She moved in calm and vigor, Between lost men, drunk with ichor Her gorgon stare reduced me to stone and there I stood, bare as bone A word I spoke, but no more As I crumbled into dust, swept on the floor With her voice, accompanied a choir Sang by angels with their lyre Serenading sweet harmonies for men to hear as she struck my heart with a burning spear Her smile took life out of my lungs My love proclaimed, if not twisted mine tongue In silence i sat, boiling with wonder How can a man tame that Delicate Flower

Lines for A Delicate Flower
Upon my eyes befell a flower dressed in black, Striking in beauty, noble in act She moved in calm and vigor, Between lost men, drunk with ichor Her gorgon stare reduced me to stone and there I stood, bare as bone A word I spoke, but no more As I crumbled into dust, swept on the floor With her voice, accompanied a choir Sang by angels with their lyre Serenading sweet harmonies for men to hear as she struck my heart with a burning spear Her smile took life out of my lungs My love proclaimed, if not twisted mine tongue In silence i sat, boiling with wonder How can a man tame that Delicate Flower
To a lady that does not know of the love i harbor.
