In your gaze, my speech is ever ablaze.
My words are forever languid on your lips
Yet this grows cramped in your mouth as it comes forth.
Though too narrow for a mouth like yours

This is from speech's subtlety and its delicacy:
With such gracious speech and gentle tone
Like water, it is found in its vessel's color.
Like water colored by its vessel’s hues
