As delicate as a bird(’s)
Your ribs could break in my arms,
If i hold you too tightly,
- Without meaning any harm -
I loosen my grip slightly,
So not to cause you (such) alarm.

I could crush you like china.
Cut you with my bloodied(/razor) tongue,
Not gentle(/r) enough (n/)or finer to
Sing the songs you’ve sung.

Your fairy wings so delicate,
I fear to touch them.
Your (hand)writing so elegant…
A real(/rare) English gem.

A rose of fire and passion,
I am melted by your flames.
Taken in the dearest fashion,
To sing (/say) and praise your name.
