I research your name
to pull back your layers and
steal the gold within
your Trojan past
intrigues me
I'll write a good song
for you

kind friend
reading your poems
is like going on holiday
they are arrows
shooting smiles
lighting up my heart
a warm spring breeze
smoothing the day's feathers
take the gold within
it is my gift to you
"let your song be delicate
the flowers can hear"
"they are arrows / shooting smiles / lighting up my heart"...b e a u t i f u l ! !
