Your petals unfurl each night

Young Love

Plucking white petals
"She loves me, she loves me not"
His young heart blooms


I have a lot of flower imagery in my mind lately . . . I guess because so many fragrant and beautiful flowers are blooming right now here in my home state of Florida.

Dead rose, dead romance



Not sure why I wrote this . . . the only person I would really ever count as the love of my life didn't leave me totally devastated. . . I guess it's because I am staring at these roses that I dried and kept as decoration - but these roses are from various occasions: my sister's college graduation, get-well bouquets when I was going through cancer treatment. No flowers from past loves.
