Terza Rima for T (1997)

A time of happiness, spring blooming &
 falling in love with an amazing woman...
 And not a bad chat up line...
 thanks Tess, will always remember those days
 with an extra special tenderness.

A Terza Rima

As the blossom on the cherry plum now dawns
from bud to petal, and Iridaceae
spring open wide to form a crocused lawn;
so I awake from sleep, and trace my eye
to where the fairies' saffroned footsteps warm
my heart. You are my call to embrace the day
Let me ride with you inside your  petalled  dream
that we may sparkle our light iridium.
