How do I measure
treasure?
Does it provide me with
trouble
or pleasure?
Is it gold, silver, a gem
or diadem?
Silk brocades, priceless paintings;
all, or none,
of them?
For me, it's nothing vile--
a lover's smile,
sunlight on soft skin,love
and deep affection,
beyond all guile.

For me, it's nothing vile--
