Long fingers reach cheeks flushed tender
Pink
Tapestried upon lily skin
Butterflies flitter joyfully dancing
Desired
Sweet and familiar
A bed of wildflowers cushion dreams
Scented
The Maiden surrenders
Gold threads weave jewelled glass beads
Bleed
Cycles young and old
Deflowered and dying gracefully
