I Pamper You

Contentment beneath the bamboo lantern of the moon. Painting by Josephine Wall

　

I pamper you like a painted lady butterfly

in a garden of sky blue asters,

fluttering about you

with exotic fans and ancient art

of a Japanese Geisha

behind shoji screens of romance,

and as the koto music of the wind sings

you reveal your fire breathing dragon

placed discreetly for my eyes only.

In the pagoda of your dreams

a songbird taste the fruit

of a kumquat tree,

as fluttering of your heartstrings

leaves you breathless

with the sweet nectar of desire

and the seed of a pink lotus flower

blooms toward the warmth of the sun.

Your mind drifts like a celestial star,

and beneath the

bamboo Lantern of the moon,

You think of only me

your painted lady butterfly,

in a tranquil Zen garden

as mind, body and spirit

reunite again.

Ahh . . . There are a few wonderful metaphors laced within the lines of this sensuous, delightful poem, SyberRose . . . Your words are meant to send shivers down the spine and they most certainly do that. Yes.
