My Flower Love
I blink as I stare into your brown eyes,
Sifting through your features to find flowers -
I find a bright flower that never dies
And I could watch it grow in peace for hours.
What will I sacrifice to see this bloom
Into the warm love that I so desire?
I will face the inescapable doom -
You will stand anxiously as I catch fire.
You dispute, cry and protest as we speak
But for your love I will embrace the flame,
I will take in the pain and wither weak
Because I know that you would do the same.
You caress my face with your soft petals
And for this hopeful life I will settle.
