He stood before her, heart beating fast,
Her beauty and grace, made his love last,
He took a deep breath, and began to speak,
His heart on his sleeve, his love to seek.
"My dearest love, I have something to say,
A question that's been on my mind every day,
My heart beats for you, and only you,
I want to spend my life, making your dreams come true."
She looked at him, her eyes shining bright,
His love for her, had brought her delight,
Her heart racing, as she listened to his plea,
She wondered if this was meant to be.
He knelt down on one knee, with a ring in his hand,
A symbol of his love, a promise to stand,
By her side, through thick and thin,
Together they'll fight, and always win.
"My love, will you marry me?"
He whispered, his heart full of glee,
Her eyes filled with tears, as she said yes,
Their love for each other, they will profess.
He slipped the ring on her finger, a symbol of their love,
Their hearts beating as one, like two doves,
Together they'll take on the world, hand in hand,
A love story, written in the sand.
Their hearts beating, as they embrace,
Their love for each other, nothing can replace,
Forever they'll be, two souls entwined,
A love story, that will never unwind.

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:

"LIFE MEANING IS A MANY SPLENDERED THING"
This was inspired through my living so many decades of life intensely and creatively! This is dedicated to all young human beings to learn the difference between being addicted to love and real love, of true compassion and friendship that must go hand in hand with companionship.’
