~ My bud YOU are … ~
You cling to
my wall as a bud to its vine,
I fondly
nurture you, while you sleep in my womb …
Yes, a bud
you are to me, a bud yet to bloom,
A bud to
grow into light when my life is about to gloom …
Carrying you safely, while picking up the pearls of my life,
OH, these lovely nine pearls that I will cherish till I die …
Through the
scorching heat as my timid body emits fire,
And till the
time when my feet are icy cold and wired
You are the only treasure mushrooming as my shadow,
My only
coveted dream is to have you in my arms …
Ecstasy is enough;
still I am ambling through the time,
OH, my so
precious … You ……
Here … you come as a manifestation of my desires,
The only beautiful sight, I always wished to have …
OH, how I wish to take you in my longing embrace,
And, soothe
your thirsty tongue with my motherly joy —
Joy that
exuberates to flow through my shivering chest,
Dispensing
you my love, now go, and live your life …
Yes, live
your life … OH, my precious life ……
Now … I shrivel with the time, being a mortal self,
Still, enduring the faith of your presence in my world
Will you be
there to shade the root you once clung — Or —
Will I be
left to lynch with the melancholy of my callous fate!
