I would title the poem  "Smoke and Tears"

My heart has 50 vibrations

each a different note

tuned to a feeling of my youth

Once I was lost in love's dream

        at dawn I became a butterfly

Once my heart's desire

       was stolen by a coo-coo bird

Pearls under a bright moon will cry in the sea

Jade under a stong sun will give off smoke

Will I ever understand my youthful longings?

My jade, my pearls remain, but just to go

up in smoke and tears?

Hey Amber,

Any chance you could drink less coffee and speak

at a reasonable speed?

Jenny, The word "pronunciation" is not pronounced "pronounce-iation"; but proNUNciation.
