Flowers Are My Fantasy
I feel too shy to admit
Every morning I wait for the first ray of the sun.
The sun that illuminates their beauty
beauty that is just out of this world.
The world would be incomplete without flowers
flowers give you a new hope to live
to live like there's no tomorrow.
They encourage you to confess your feelings
feelings that had been unsaid for years
years that have waited too long
longer than they deserved.
I too have decided to express my love
love that began with this universe
and will die only when it ceases to exist.
The flowers need to know I am crazy for them
their fragrance pulls me like a magnet
they do not realize when I caress them, and
try to embrace them with my love.
I am the wind
I am in love with flowers.
Flowers —
just sway in my arms
happy and dancing.
