Analysis of Impulsive Be Thy Heart Therein
Palomino, mislaid in pleasure
Taint the breath to tease with feathers
Succulent be those beads and leathers
Cherish me with earthly treasures
Impulsive be thy heart therein
To utter words where to begin
Brazen beauty beside the flame
To know thy hand and hear thy name
Humble me beside the flame
Warm thy hand and cool my lips
Beside the flame, where the purest honey drips
Sweetness be thy breath I breathe
And there is sadness when you leave
Ambience the way of pleasure
To tease my love by way of feather
