Andrew Fairchild Poet Free verse

Love Letter To Laurie

When you closed your hand about my hand,
A shivering bud that hid within my heart
Began to open,

‘MEN do not have FLOWERS in their hearts!’
  I cried, in my mind,
‘CERTAINLY
MEN have LIONS!’

But the bud so softly nudged against my breast,
That I could not but pluck its opening grace
And offer it
To You,
Pure As A Smile…
