A Portrait Of You

An image built in echoes

.

Souls and songs

Lay entwined in leaves

A garden so bountiful

Grew within me,

Red tulips fell from my lips

As I declared my acceptance

With a kiss.

 

You were made of flowers

A potpourri of sentiments so rich,

Dripping with carnations,

A vibrant red.

An oasis of devotion

An ache deep seated,

My heart craved and wanted.

 

You covered me in pink,

Drowned me in daisies,

I lost sight of my doubts,

My arguments and my sanity

All my reservation

Crumbled underneath

The onslaught.

 

Your heart bled red

Vibrant beneath the whites of your bone

Like the very color of the roses

That wrapped around your rib cage,

Unfettered, wild,

Tainted with passion, and overgrown.

 

 

Fuchsias and geraniums

All bundled up as one,

My heart spiraled

As you gifted me a bouquet

Of follies and denials

With a smile that shone

Brighter than the sun.

 

Victorian blue painted your chest

As I sent love letters wrapped in Iris

Pages upon pages

Dusted in daffodils

An ode to our unrequited love

A passion unequalled.

 

You covered me in daisies

Said I love you truly

Painted me with wild roses,

Pain mixed with pleasure,

The poetry of our love story.

 

We stood underneath

Showers of lilies

Our love scented of purity,

A lone bud blooming

In an ocean of doubt,

I wove you a crown of heliotropes

A token of eternity,

A prayer of the devout.

 

Forget-me-nots paved the yard

As we stumbled through the doors at dawn,

Beams of sunlight wrapped around us coyly

Setting our spirits aglow in the effervescent dark.

Capricious and drunk our fingers danced across one another,

Dainty and delicate,

A flesh and bone tether.

 

Desire bloomed just as the blossoms did,

You surpassed all,

As I lay imprisoned in poppies,

A sea of red,

Yet somehow,

I didn’t want to be set free at all.

Thank you for reading! Also, I sure do love support and coffees! 💜
