Blooming

It always starts with your mouth You plant your words in my head like seeds One by one they bury deep in my mind Their roots cling on Your lips travel to my neck Deep breaths moving my hair along With each kiss on my nape, stems shoot out Searching for their sunlight Planting more as you travel down my spine The sun rises in the sky Leaves start to form in the wake of you Down to your knees I bend down to find my sunshine Meeting the hot shimmer of your tongue A bud of a rose is starting to form larger Right in my roots A flower needs water to blossom You give me all I need and more It is time to let it rain and flood So wet It seems you are perfect for my rose The petals grow wider and colourful too I'm ready to bloom, please don't stop Finally, I've grown Standing tall and yet more fragile than ever Holding onto my sun, my life beginner Every flower needs help blooming I need you
