Simple Love

It’s as simple as
a child plucking  a rose
from a neighbor’s flower bed

It’s as simple as
her mother’s kiss on
her thorn-pricked thumb

It’s as simple as 
the fallen petals waiting
to be glued back together

Complex as breathing
complex as stealing a child’s nose
complex as a ten piece puzzle

It’s as simple  as
taking pen to white paper
and thinking about you
