Petals

I'll stay right here, waiting for you Here where the sky's still blue And true love holds true Here where the mangoes bruise But still squeeze sweet juice I'll stay right here, pine after love Here where the dew sits cold And morning brings doves Here where breeze and butterflies Flowergasm air and land I'll stay right here, pretty and perfect Here where beauty fades but never ends I'll stay right here, radiant and dashing Here for a time, among many like me Many like me, beautiful in a brightly-colored, sad and broken way Wilting away waiting for you You that sees just me among many like me I pray you come to me soon Lest I be pluck't by a more timely, less desirable hand I'll stay right here, my love Hurry... I can't stop them from falling

A creative aberration on a rhyming couplet, maybe?

You are a gem! Thanks, sweetheart. But I think I'll just leave it at Free Verse. Lol
