Bird of Paradise

The day you brought me a Bird of Paradise, a rare flower which imbibed sun’s blushing orange glow, and aquamarine blue from ocean’s bosom, erased the excruciating pains of our separation unfolding a symphony of colours, stayed and comforted me since then with satiny softness. The ebullient orange and blue petals with a tint of olive-green from the depth of the sea, where a dreamy mermaid weaves her crimson love... remind me of our tender days together with unrestrained laughter and pure joy. the blue elegant boat-like bract brings the memory of our doting parrot - lingering lilac memory she left... As if she left the glistening colours of her wings on the slender petals.... for me to gaze at the graceful beauty, so all the sorrows, all the sadnesses magically heal and evaporate.
