Botticelli Madonna (sweet singing)

Deep, hollow, irregular breaths she inhaled
A blow of wind plundering her sonority
She widened her eyes to look for a shadow, a mate
None did her eyes meet other than the soul of breeze.

Moistening her cheeks, discolored through endless sorrow
It beheld her, consoling her quivering velvet lips
Her tormented shadow was kissed infinitely, graciously
She glanced above, murmured and cajoled.

Platonic and gay, she surrendered to the gnawing ballad
Of the fraying wind, crooning to mollify her.
Mirthlessly she manoeuvred, her feelings intermingled
"A sad Botticelli angel," the wind thought.

Yet she was diffident, lest it might lurch away
Annealing and cringing her love to sail freely
The spangling wind sprinkled pity upon the angel
She reversed abruptly, the overwhelming wind slackened away.
