Hou - Falling in love for the first time

Losing my grip. Back then, it was the first time.

Stars droop like heavy blossoms, 

The universe is a tree, and your centre is its bosom.

You keep me up during my waking dreams,

Pounding my chest, aching, with ethereal gleam.

As sorrow weighs down the untrimmed branches,

Spoken words escape the letters.

Though my unattended wounds need no bandage,

My heart yearns for your crazed fever.

Metaphors and the soft unfolding of heart are quietly speaking with each other throughout the poem. One is beautiful beacuse there is another beautiful heart that can feel and see a little extra everytime.

'...As sorrow weighs down the untrimmed branches,
Spoken words escape the letters...'

Ah, it is beautiful!
