Calyx Eclipse

With indecision rode abreast
              Intended path becomes digressed 
              Old age accompanies us soon 
              Protected from sway of heart's swoon

              Independent flag flown above
              Declares no use for fickle love
              Closure wraps webs, unspent calyx
              Composts in forgotten paddocks

             Extension as petals erupt 
             Resilient haughty's harsh disrupt
             Crumbles robot disposition
             Gives passion due permission 

             Held out is your hand to delve in
             Wafting musk man wax firm terpene 
             Growth emergence drifts adjacent 
             Inhaled fragrance fresh placement

            Dangled now upon my doorstep 
            Taking the chance, you endorsed it
            Stainless steel crumpled, heart on tap
            Safety reigned, your care eclipsed that

            Ready to bloom in love splendid 
            Softness of Libby now rendered 
            Able to lay guard down, submit
            Spread open desire soul permits

I love how wildflowers grow on their own, so independent and persistent, this is a lovely ode to overcoming neglect to bloom anyway~
