Introspect 1 (poem) (Lovers's Day Special)

Intropect

It was so late in the night
One was, o! so fast asleep
One did not wake mine.

I reached for gold mine

Felt a heel,
Moved up knee,
Reached pate...

So impetuous, so unrestrained,
I reached first fruits, my fountain

I heard some nocturnal bird howl
Not for me the melancholic cry!

Merrily, merrily I sang along,
Meted out the blessed acts,
Dug out the priceless gems.

Nymph Yvonne (poem)

Nymph Yvonne
 
I came out last night,
Caught sight of dainty nymph
In drapes...
She basked in silvery breeze,
this quiet twilight.
 I stared at Moon, silvery moon
- Crescent covered
All. you rose above
Horizon. Golden bulbs bulged,
Bearing apples; fine, straight,
Innocent nipples half-clad.
 
Altogether comely,
Charming powerful Spirit!
Could just be the guide... prophtess!
 
Soon, I'll come up closer
To the woods and azure - thence
Gaze, shall I behold you as being this
Graceful still, Yvonne?
