A flower
never questions
digging roots
in fertile soil.
Never submits requests
of ultraviolet substances -
just blooms.
And tossing
its beauty
to the wind
as a sail
on the ocean
gathers the illusive breezes;
love sacrifices
body and soul
back to the dust
of earth;
never calling your name,
never believing in need,
never once
knowing any doubt
of your existence.
You are spring
and I am dormant.

an unconditional bloom
I found this poem very romantic in that it is about total giving. I like the way your ideas are spaced and the way you have used the repetition to emphasise the tone of total NEVER.
As the other comments suggest, it is a wonderful take on the prompt.
