Flower

My love is a flower
unfolded and symmetrical
decidedly delectable.

My love is a petal
seamless and silent
to a touch softly compliant.

My love is perfume
I am wont to consume
when it graces a room.

My love is a vision
of supernal design
who , thank God,
is gloriously mine.

"My love is a flower, unfolded and symmetrical" Such a beautiful image, and I can see this in my mind. Your words caress softly around me and my heart. Thank you for being here, for being you. *You* are in my thoughts, my sweet friend. :) Hugs, Brandy

Thanks for the "welcome back," Deb M. Thanks, too, for the kind words about "Flower." I think there's a song titled "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." That's "me" these days. It's so very sweet of you to miss me. Hugs & Love, Paul
