ROMANCE: EVERYDAY'S GOLDEN HAZE STANZA I In twilight's embrace, behold the moon's grace, Glimmers mirrored in the sea, a celestial chase. Cascades of silver, from lofty peaks they flow, In my lover's land, where my heart's love does grow. STANZA II He, a radiant sun, illuminates my days, And in my tender arms, passion's fire ablaze. Like nerunji flowers, my limbs bloom and entwine, In devotion's embrace, our love intertwines. STANZA III These words I confide to you, my dearest friend, My heart's devotion, a tale that shall not end. For in my beloved's arms, my spirit soars high, A love story written beneath an endless sky. ( what the girl confessed to her friend about her loyalty to her lover ) NOTE: Nerunji flowers (puncture vine/goat’s head/caltrop) are small yellow flowers that follow the Sun.
