Pistol


Like the essence of air
Drafts a sweetness eager to share
Honey tasting breeze
Combing through hair

Like the spring step
Of a paper dragon
Worked up by fire
In cooperation of joyous feet

Like the clever eastern child
Beaming with pride
The honor of his families lineage  
Beams in his soul
 
So does the lovers sweet dance
Through cooling romance
Reflected upon the pond
Beneath moonlit glance
Mirror both paths
Of the flower's pistil and stamen
Shown.
