Unrequited Love
Poppyseed Princess with poppyseed lips,
Fragrant yellow piston, and beautiful hips.
In the wind, savoring her relationships,
Never knowing of my dream for her companionship.
I am a simply ugly marigold, gnarly and quite plain.
Recognizing beautiful, but my tongue I dare refrain.
If she knew of my love, would she turn away in rain?
I dare not speak, for my view I do not want to stain.
I am just a poppyseed, nothing to delightful marigold.
I study him quietly, his smile never mean or old.
A glimmer of a glimpse of a spark I see sometimes within his fold,
But men do not like aggressive women so I dare not be so bold.
So the smitten poppyseed and the marigold stayed like this until death.
Introduced again in heaven, recognizing each other with angelic bated breath.
