Nature's Love Ballet
Blooms, Butterflies, and Hearts on the Mountain
Atop the mountain, blooms unfurl with grace,
A colorful tapestry in nature's embrace. ๐ผ
Butterflies, a procession in delicate flight,
Sipping nectar, a sweet and joyful rite. ๐ฆ
Inexperienced lovers, hearts aflutter,
Exploring a world where dreams softly utter. ๐
Birds take to the sky, their love in the air,
With acrobatics of affection, beyond compare. ๐๏ธ
Cloaked in a frock adorned with blooms rare,
A vision of beauty, beyond compare. ๐
No need for makeup, let your cheeks display,
The rose-hued blush that words can't convey. ๐น
Release your hair, let the breeze take command,
As strands dance wildly, like the finest silk strand. ๐
Patiently waiting, your gaze fixed on the view,
For the one who'll come, bringing love anew. ๐
In this tapestry of nature, where dreams take flight,
Hearts intertwine, like stars in the night. ๐ซ
On the mountaintop, love's enchantment shall bind,
Where beauty and hearts in perfect harmony find. โค๏ธ

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 xลchitl in cuฤซcatl, 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:
