Amor en Primavera

Oh delicious spring now mirrored in my heart

By a delicate blossom beginning to open slowly;

Each individual petal carefully unraveling itself

From the bud that has been heavily guarded till now.

Awakened from its heavy sleep, this young flower

Turns her face to the sky, hopeful and expectant.

Love has untied the iron knot binding the blossom.

Not nearly in full bloom but well on it's way,

This love is being nurtured in my heart.

But this sleeping beauty finally come to life

will lie still in her elegant crystal coffin,

Unless her handsome young prince shall come

to break the charm with true love's first kiss.
