Double-named butterfly from afar, Enchantress that you are in brain and body, Be not unaware of the desires deep in my soul– I wish for you the natural order of happiness And for your kin The natural order of health. Oh, How I may delight to see Glowing cells contact washed-out cells In the traditional display Danced for centuries By noble men and women, By horrid men and women, But yet, By passionate men and women Who cannot tear from themselves The yearning lust They keep locked away. Maybe someday I can convey to you The message I find Challenge in conveying When dutifully bound To other responsibilities: Your every action crafts my smile.
