The Fragrance of Love

The Fragrance of Love

The bud has bloomed

The bud, which I was

keeping from mildew

in the ebb of time has bloomed!

It is simple as a morning dew drop

gentle as an evening breeze,

humble as a candle light and

tender as a mother’s heart.

The fragrance spread!

The risk it takes to

check from spreading is

more than the risk it takes

to remain tight inside the bud

Blame me not

I can hide it no more.
