A thorn may pluck the flesh, thirsting only for the warmth of love
as the wound wasn’t created to cause pain but only to get closer
The flowers -- a miracle of the moment and exist only as an offering
given to be embraced at this single, special moment in time
Perfume from these blossoms are at a peak just before a storm, and as
the clouds swirl, the air grows heavy and it too will be as sweet as the flowers
Reach down now and feel the tenderness of my love,
with all its many-petaled arms waiting
and know we should take time to see the flower
then finally to give in to love
