While petals drift in warm rainbow showers,
Bare legs, close-laced, intertwine like a lei.
Our night seduced by pikake flowers.
Not shy, not sure, grasping, with no power
To resist any urge to stay away,
While petals drift in warm rainbow showers.
Again, again, each time it devours,
Our bodies, arched in enthralled ballet,
Our night seduced by pikake flowers.
Just us, coupled as one—now his, now hers—
An us bound barely by our bodies’ play,
While petals drift in warm rainbow showers.
Unlaced, at last, by the evening’s lost hours,
Too spent to leave but too listless to stay—
Our night seduced by pikake flowers.
Who would abandon worn silk sheets like ours,
Rumpled with a lilikoi bouquet,
While wrapped with petals, warm rainbow showers,
A night seduced by pikake flowers.
