She clung to my chest,
So as an ivy vine on a wall.
Her nails on my back jabbed,
Lest I should loosen her.
I walked and walked.
Rejoining to her smile.
This is our world, other is yours,
Yet another one, your mother's.
She tightened her hold on all my moves.
Her eyes spread like a bud.
Amid her babble and coo,
Heard her calling me dad.
Laid her on my lap as I rested,
Watched her blooming lips on and on.
Could I not stop smelling her lips?
She kept biting my nose.
An aroma of joy between her lips!
Having stood apart, my queen consort
Was enjoying herself the pampering.
