darling buds

Missing image

 

 

 

             her cheeks reminded him of
dahlias
as the sound of early autumn
spilled over them through
                        deep chocolate eyes

 

 

he told her she was
                              beautiful
everyday
and compared her
to flowers, sunsets
and mountain tops

 

 

still,
        she wondered

 

 

 

if he couldn't find
fuchsia, magenta
or dahlia
to set her fairness beside



could he still love her?

    Aww, what a deeply sentimental
    piece you've composed here.
    I love how you portray such deep
    feelings and emotion throughout,
    and how it all stemmed from a Dahlia.

    You have such talent, I am jealous! lol

    Loved this.

    Best of luck & thanks for entering
