February 14, 2011 “the flower”
“the flower”
the sensuous curve of the rose petal
as the flower unfurls like a banner
lover’s standard
she opened her heart
her life
her arms
her soul
to the sun
to the rains and the winds
to harsh reality
to the cool sweet mist of dawning
to the warm morning sun
the alluring fragrance of her blooming
was on the breeze
like the strains of a haunting tune
beckoning me to her
there among the thorns
the troubles of life
so beautiful to my eye
clothed in red
soft
velvet red
just out of reach
not unattainable
the desire to feel the soft petals
of her blossoming love
overwhelming
my fingers daring the thorns
risking the bite
the pain
for the chance of a touch
the possibility to hold her in my hand
a dream
a perfect flower
petals upon my bed
my skin
the taste of her
the sweet aroma of the flower
the nectar of some powerful goddess
dripping as the dew
glistening in the pale light of a new day
a new hope
a new promise
of eternal love
