Slender is the rose
That sashays in its clothes
Wonder is the lily
Who’s existence thrills me
A blossoming ranunculus
Tickling every sensation of my homunculus
Staring at the tulip’s hips
Keeping my thoughts between my lips
The peonies
Give me a flutter in my knees
The sight of the violet
Makes my heart fall silent
The columbine rests heavy
As I let go of my mind
