Cannabis sativa decreed
But people like to call it, "weed"
It smokes so hot
Some call it "pot"
And I know where your dog just peed
Dear Love
Your skin is dark crimson rose
That shines like a young sun
Your voice opens locked doors
Your passion is as huge as a baobab shadow
We are sweet seeds, stevia
And cannabis sativa
Yellow butterfly bush
Joined by glowing wings
You are golden marigold
Your eyes the color of a daisy
Even in our dark stage, we are crazy
Soul divers and rivers
We are sour preferred star fruits
Your kiss I have never tasted smell so sweet
And creates an entire globe
In my little world
You are angel
I am your heaven
And your man
