Persimmon bloom dense
with light, hallowed heat,
brilliant with scent that spells
senses and spirit, an ignition of fire,
tender icterine dazzle of petals,
sacred heart secret within coral canopy,
this passion of sweetest fire
and perfection of design:
a revelation of harmony, love carnal and divine
‘tender icterine dazzle of petals’ is a marvellous phrase.
