Rosemary

The significance of rosemary isn't only a name
It also symbolizes a flower. 
People use this flower for many reasons
Wiccans use it to brew
Chefs use it to cook
Gardeners love to see this flower in a garden. 
Nowadays Wiccans use rosemary to attract love. 
Some say rosemary is used to spook away evil spirits. 
All these theories leave me wondering
Can this all be real or just a myth. 
All I know is chefs do use it to cook.
Inclusively this lovely flower smells very beautifully. 
It leaves an aroma within a garden
An aroma which is soft 
Soft enough to tolerate being around Rosemary within my garden
This leaves a sensational aroma
A flower like you attracts beautiful butterflies during the spring
Butterflies which fly around in search of nectar or pollen
from a flower on plant because its what butterflies eat
In order to survive and roam around to express their exotic wings.
A butterfly is an exotic insect because its colors on their wings.
Maybe I should brew it and create perfume
Call it Rosemary and see what happens
Will a hummingbird fly around me in circles? 
When I think about this beautiful flower.
I ponder about numerous things. 
Beautiful things which sometimes leave me speechless. 
Rosemary, I shall grow you in my garden
You will invoke love and harmony around me. 
If I don't plant you in this life, Maybe on my next one If I'm a lovely lady
A woman who wears rosemary as a perfume
Rosemary, your name itself, leaves a beautiful thought and symphony.
