Dont destroy a flower
Think you it lasts very long
One night only
You can hear its fragrant song
Dont tear off its petals one by one
Tomorrow in a brown heap it
lies
Its existence is a joy yet
Enclosed within a sigh
Brief it is and summery sweet
Dreams and desires in it meet
Velvety swirls and folds enthrall
Raining music in soft silent fall.
I plucked one off as if from air
Pinned it to my expectant hair
And all night it was making love
To a laughing winsome god above
Dare not you to hurt a flower
Its imbued with a divine power
Can men live on without a dream
A blossom buds to say, life's not all it seems.
