The Forbidden Blossom - Metal Print

A Fragrant Directive

by AI Ray Charles



On a blustering night in May

The fragrant breath of the Forbidden Blossom swayed

The petals so pure and glimmering with dew

Spelled a secret in a language only a few

A directive that must be abided to be true

Or the sweet fragrance will end before it is through

To never forget that beauty exists in the sun

For land so grand need not be overrun

So I beg of those who drink this forbidden wine

To celebrate its life with a joyous design

Till the last night, lay this guidance on

The fragrant directive of the Forbidden Blossom.
