My Violet
My chosen solitary Violet from a bouquet of barbed roses
displaying her natural beauty with a little love and care
exposing her variety of petals of colour and shapes
with inner passion, luscious looks a true reflection
of a Violet in full flourishing glory and perfect scent
her soothing, swaying saunter in natural flora style
fine hairs on my body and shivers down my spine sent,
her presence satisfying spectators without pretentious appeal
staring expressions to undress this natural loveliness not necessary.
Turning the focus abruptly from conversation to natural beauty
surrounded by withering, wilting blossoms revealing their thorns,
in awe and proud of my love for a unique flower I selected
this Violet among the eagerly chosen roses is finally mine.
