When I Go Away

It hurts me when I have to go away.
When I met you I wanted to settle
I could spend my days learning to love more.
Fall in a life that was wholesome and true
in a way that you would consider pure.
For you were truly my sweetest flower.

With petals different from other flowers
That wicked seasons withered away.
I know your love was not carnal but pure
And that was what made my wild heart settle
Into a life I contemplated true.
There wasn’t a soul who could love you more.

And it is beyond me that there is more.
You are truly an intricate flower.
You blossom your special way clear and true.
That is so different and so far away
Yet deep within it rapidly settles
like a glacier fed stream clear cold and pure.

I see within your soul and it is pure.
There is nothing else that I could want more.
You’re a butterfly that softly settles
exploding in blossoms of Spring flowers
that I know are not meant to fade away.
But are made to blossoms straight up and true.

You purified my heart and made it true.
Made my carnality something more pure.
That old me has faded slowly away.
He has become a ghost that is no more.
Your touch as soft as petals of flowers.
I try to make my emotions settle.

You have made all things about me settle
I have been enlightened to love that’s true
as you have become my favorite flower
Warm whole hearted and loving in pure
Ways.  Of love today I will love you more
even though for a time I go away.

I dream of settling on your pure lips.
Our love is true and I want nothing more.
I’ll dream of my flower while I’m away.
