Heartthrob Blues

Are you the laughing lily

From my vanished garden?

Asking, are you that laughing lily

From my vanished garden?

Or are you that taunting apple

From my memory’s Eden?

Are you the wondrous petal

Of my Flower of Paradise?

Asking, are you the wondrous petal

Of my Flower of Paradise?

Your fragrance fill the orchard

You’re dear at any price

In your sacred pistil

A bullet of blessings

Yes, in your sacred pistil

A bullet of blessings

You keep my mouth ajar

In my care-less musings

Eyes new-laid eggs

Of the hen from Desire’s roost

Ah, eyes new-laid eggs

Of the hen from Desire’s roost

There is a shot from your bouncing hips

That gives my fancy a vital boost

Wrap me up

In the petals of those flowers

Pray, wrap me up

In the petals of those flowers

From this yearning minute

To the latitude of the endless hours
