This is my favorite poem I’ve ever written:

Deep red maybe, still a baby.
Returned to me, this time is now.
Open up and let me feel you,
Don’t be ashamed, there’s no need to cry.
Constant winds why won’t you die?
Because of you her petal shy to me.
Spray the odors, of your inside.
I infuse them, let them speak inside.
Oh please, open up and let me taste you,
your petals soft, your stem so grainy.
You stand out from the vista,
Earthtones can’t hide a pearl from life,
Though your stem blends it’s apparent,
Inside your carin’, for me tonight.
In the winds you dance so graceful,
Wonder when I’ll have my chance.
Won’t you please come out for sun.
I’m just needing one more chance.
Open up, don’t be a stranger,
And let me have my dance.
