Passion's Sting

Thank you for your sweet smile
Your familiar face, so beautiful with style
You are an enchanting lady in angelic form
So faery-like which Heaven has adorned.

How can I forget that swift evening
When you held me in the warmth of your wings?
With your Personal Symbol so powerful and true
Unique.... She can only be with you:

With your Eagle's wings toward heaven... reaching
With your Scorpion sting like a Phoenix rising
You transmute pain into joy without fear.
Transforming poison into a passion for Life's Elixir

Please allow me to express these poetic themes
I can't help it; you inspire me, so it seems.
These things may fade away, 'hope you don't mind
'Coz I seldom meet someone so beautiful and kind.

Lessons learned and so much to give
How you shared with me some karmic tips to live.
Go ahead! Free Spirit, fly on ...
You're so good to be true, but Life must go on ...
