Florist in Love

A bit of poetry for a beautiful day in May!

kendall Dec 2013

Feeling cool, damp, mist of air surround me
  whilst I run my calloused fingertips over
  the petals of every flower that reminds me
  of you.
 
  I never thought to study botany until the day
  you spoke my name in the husk
  of your skin chilling voice.
  Everything you do, everything you say,
  reminds me of the gentle chaste kisses
  of Mother Nature.
 
  Your eyes as mesmerizing as Borage,
  lips as inviting as Hoya.
  The way you say my name
  reminds me of blooming Orange Cream Dahlias
  and when you speak passionately is every
  purple freckled Orchid.
 
  I couldn't find any flowers to match the
  radiance of your smile until I stumbled upon
  my most beloved plant; the Sunflower.
  The infant of the center of our solar systems
  warmth. Because your smile is so warm
  and inviting, all I can possibly do is bask in
  its elegant beauty.
