My Foolish Heart
Splitting open the rough rocky ledge of your garden,
a sapling grows at the edge of the broken pathway.
A lone bud blooms unnoticed with the color of spring
within my heart like an alluring flower called love.
You waft past me on the wings of zooming zephyr,
blowing a sensuous storm of fervor through me.
I hold the ruffled petals close to my yearning heart,
lest they fly away to the obscure recess of wilderness.
Drenched in the diffused drizzle of twilight shimmer,
you walk away beyond the withered garden once green.
Your stride of neglect I see trample unaware the flower,
its crumpled petals wrap the pieces of my foolish heart.
