Behind silken veils
your face is oriental,
stark white in beauty…

Darkness descending…
Torches born in processions
illume our chambers…

Shadows of color,
as a jeweled moth alights
onto a jade shrine…

This night in a dream
I behold your sleeping face
shinning in the stars…

The dark sky glows blue
before the dawn awakens…
Stars sparkle the waters.

Now the dawn arrives…
Buds bathed in strawberry glow
unfold their splendor…

Shining dewdrop falls,
awakening a butterfly…
It opens its wings

You open your eyes…
Your fair arms unfolding
for our embrace…
