In the dance of hearts, love takes its flight,
A symphony of emotions, pure and bright.
Through whispered words and tender gaze,
Two souls entwine in a timeless craze.
Love is a journey, wild and free,
A tapestry of moments, for you and me.
In laughter shared and tears embraced,
We find the strength to face each day's race.
With every beat, our love grows strong,
A melody of passion, a lifelong song.
In your arms, I find my home,
Where love's sweet whispers forever roam.
So let's walk hand in hand, through life's unknown,
Together, our love will always have grown.
For in each other's arms, we find our light,
Guiding us through the darkest night.

A Flower Song
Apparently the Aztecs, Toltecs, Chichimecs and other Mexica were crazy about poetry. Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
