1.
You smile from a gipsy mirror;
to all you'll seem
like the wished for dream.
Chameleon in the leaves of love,
you are my tree's
transparency.
2.
The torch for a Spanish fire:
birchwood bark
will blaze your spark.
Jungles we'll cremate into an ash.
From forest tombs
can flowers bloom.
3.
Crusader with a taste for problems,
produce me this -
a child to kiss.
Goliath of the nightmares can be slain
by all who bring
the pebbled sling.
4.
Adept as a high-dive plunger,
you hesitate
at the swimmer's gate.
A castle that crumbles to the tide;
I watch you be
them both to me.
