The Spring Blossom
Sparkling springs came as the time’s wheel rolled by,
our hearts entwined we walked the garden trail.
Ardent fervor on cloud in blue, set sail,
not long, for the rain storm dissolved the sky.
My touch slid far on stream flow from your eye,
but I surely knew I’d return, won’t fail
to be with you in garden by the vale,
in the wrap of your arms again I’d lie.
You grow sapling that sprouts in spring splendor,
cradle of leaves takes care of buds of rose.
They all unfurl at dawn splashed by sunburst,
flush you with full glow of avid ardor.
You'll then find me smiling if you look close,
I’ll keep my vow because I’ll bloom, the first.
