A Romantic
I create romance where none exists
A rose placed
Under my care
I gently hand over to a young vase
Longing for its touch ...
Setting rays highlight
The blushing petals
Ranging from purple red
To deep hues of my passion ...
Slowly but surely, the petals undress
As they shed their shyness
To embrace the security of walls ...
Slowly but surely, the vase takes in
The fragrance of the unfolding flower
The vase comes alive
I see the steel of its shape
Turn to copper soft
As it gently gets warmed up
In my heart ...
