First Meet
When I was immersed in the drowsy heat.
Awoken by a cooling shade of your fleeting shadow,
When I was bound to the cuddly meadow.
I chased your gorgeous shadow to greet,
And your beautiful smile was a wonderful treat.
We strolled around the meadow in sunset,
Till midnight we were trapped in a love net.
Decades later I still hear the birds’ tweet,
They witnessed a first meet ever sweet.
Once upon a time
I stepped on half a dime.
For the other half, I searched the playground,
but wished for a pound.
I stumbled and so flied the half dime,
in a curve ended in a lily pound.
I heard giggles as resonating as chime,
before I turned my body around.
It is the girl from my neighbor,
in her hands a snow-white lily flower.
She shrouded me with a smell of thyme,
and left on my bruised lips a taste of lime.
