Love
dear daughter
is a harvest
that shall not redeem
in a day

Love
my dear daughter
it blossoms
like the lotus
in the garden full
of dandylions and daisies
it will bloom from the sleeping bud
and then it shall rise
like no other
till it blushes upon the seasoned weather
unawared

Every passerby
the clouds and buzzing bees
will be smittened

Love
my dear daughter
is like a rose
thorns will bear
the laughter and shedding tears

Love my dear daughter
was once pure
and all it endured
was as plain as roses
as white as lilies
as holy as verses
from bibles
and prayers
the hearts were white and plain
there was noone telling you how that was naive
it was pure and all that was that was simple
it was love

Love my dear daughter
is now blemished
famished
fetished
and much less to say
has gone from Shakespearean to Edgar Allan Poe
to Dickinson
dismay

Love my dear daughter
had lovers do many things
seeking Gods for help
and nothing more was seen than the deep
colours of each lover's eyes
and heavens made lovers live eternal
in the jaded garden
to the moonlit skies

Love my dear daughter
now has lost its virginity
her dress is torn
her answers to love
is riddled with doubts and hatred bleeding
trickling
like wounding thorns
where love has died
to never be reborn

Love my dear daughter
was once beautiful
like the colours
of my woman's eyes
the ones I used to love...
were pure as emerald jade...
was in full bloom always like the lotus beads
that fell all over the tulip lipped garden

Now my dear daughter
wherefore love
where prayers are now in vain
and the heavens above
shake heads and shed tears
of rain
upon us all
in answer to the questions
we all ask to the rigid walls

Now my dear daughter
if you love
love with all you can
and find it that it may be love
whether it be woman or man
and understand
that devotion and heart
must always stay intact

Intimacy
proficiencies
decieve
empty promises
shall lurk like grey rain clouds
in the clear skies
but never lose hope
and faith
that you carry in your eyes
for when Jesus saw you born
He leaned close to kiss both your eyes
to kiss your heart
and kiss your cheeks
and lips

That you may speak of love
feel of love
spread the love
and see love
all in grace of God
which is pure and Good.

Listen and remember
my dear beloved daughter.
