FLOWERS TO A BOY
by Tuese Ahkiong
Your words are a gift to me
A beautiful bouquet
Magnificently arranged
In their colorful array
Among the garden’s countless many
But not just any
Carefully selected for the finest, sweetest
And best, way to express
What’s happening inside.
As you search yourself for those perffect words to say
Everything you know you can’t,
Put into ink in one moment,
Your emotions come to bloom,
And I can smell the flowers
Perfumed in bright smiles and laughs
Scribbled in a hug and a kiss,
The one that seals this bliss.
The part of you, written in sky blue
Fragranced in Springtime flowers,
I reread for hours.
Like a favorite love song playing on repeat
You got my dazzled eyes dancing
Listening to your heart sing
Moving, grooving, proving your love true
Music as sweet as a rose
You say I inspire what you compose?
Can anyone feel more adored than I?
Tickles me with joy.
Knowing that this boy
Can make your lips speak poetry
And pull words, from your soul
That make me glow.
