Love Poem: Loosen the Braids

Loosen the Braids

Loosen the braids 
Upon the white marble of night
Let his hand wander through 
Your hair's noble origin

As the emerald of his heart 
That faded through 
The lonely long nights 
Becomes green

Loosen the braid 
Upon the white marble of night 
For a long time 
You were decreed to love 
Like a thousand poems 
Written on the face of a wall

Loosen the braids 
Upon the white marble of night 
Then toss to him 
A light thread of happiness
A vehement torrent 
From the rain god

Perhaps a drop lives 
Deep inside the oyster 
That becomes a pearl
