I

 
If I were a madwoman in love,
I would have said something about
The glowing lamps only lesser to the
Radiance of your smile,
Or how you're making me see
A sunflower dancing in the night.

To say it better, I would be closing
My eyes in day jobs, photocopy moving
Pictures of the first time
My heart disappeared and appeared
Inside your chest;
Everything is golden, too golden.


II


If you were a book,
I would read you so many times
Till you will be slipping from my memory,
Hour–glass speed, lighter than sand;
A windfall gain I lost in the stands.

But I'm still reeling from being
A daisy in the rose bush, 
Staying upon thorns with reluctance 
And the only thing purloined
Is the 'my' from my possession.
