Rubies on pale throats, dripping off wrist, hanging downward on ears,
encasing fingers
Blood, leaving bright tracts across you, moving near silently under your
skin, sustaining you
Roses, an emblem of one country yet from another, so soft but deadly, sharp
the thorns, velvety petals caress
Lips, so divine, from palest pink to deepest crimson, their lovely shape
from your face, a small smile enlightens
Strawberries, with their flesh so sweet, contrasting colours, yet perfect
symmetry, pert taste overwhelming nice
Heart, pumping lifeblood, symbolizing love, on Valentine's Day exchanged
for the next year, hope for many for you
Blush, of a virgin, a happy child with new delights, awakening to new
pleasures, deepest desires
