Kumudu is a small white water flower:

Upon the pond's black sea, one twinkling star.

Most will never notice her perfection,

Unremarkable for her protection,

Delicate as single dewdrops are,

Untouched across the stillness of their hour.

Cheryl knows the value of a smile.

Her dreams are ripe and ready for the scythe.

Eventually, love will take her over,

Replacing her passionate affair with style.

Yet Cheryl will remain soft and blithe,

Less for herself than for her treasured lover.

Caroline is noble in her heart.

A thousand years ago she'd be a queen:

Royal in her social grace and art,

Outside unblemished, inside all serene.

Lovers line the streets of her domain

In waiting for a glimpse of her affection.

No one but one shall that sweet gift retain,

Even as all stare at her perfection.

Antonisha is bursting with beauty,

Now in her flowering spring.

Though one may be winsome, attractive, or pretty,

One’s beauty must come from within.

None can gaze long at the sun of her smile.

Instead, one must soon look away.

Still, one can’t help but look back for a while,

Held by a heart that would angels beguile

And turn hapless night into day.

Raviporn's a bit of paradise,

Although there isn't yet a man who knows it.

Vivacious in her heart, she rarely shows it,

In her shyness always thinking twice.

Perhaps when time unveils a man she wants,

Opening her flower to the spring,

Revealing the quick smile that makes life sing,

None will resist the charm that grips and haunts.

Alberta lets her golden hair hang low,

Loving well the luster of its sheen.

Bent on being beautiful, she stays

Elusive; yet, aware of passing days,

Resolves to find a mate once she has been

To all her friends and rivals reigning queen,

A paradise where but a king might go.

Spring surprises us, no matter how

Prepared we are to revel in its bloom,

Returning far too late yet far too soon,

Instantly from bud to blossoming bough.

Nor does it wait for us to take it in,

Gone to green before it well has been.
