Two youths enjoying mutual desire,
Exemplifying mortal mysteries
Of passion, the encumbrance of entire
Millennia of solemn histories.
The first resplendent with a godlike touch,
The warmth creation radiates distilled
Into the one supernal artist, such
That when they joined all art was love fulfilled.
The other: blossom boy and objet d'art,
Himself alive in the idyllic scheme
Of man and beauty yet to be apart.
A fragile visitor that made gods keen.
The flower's beauty–that which knows and crowns
Its elegance must also lay it down.
