a seed
serendipitously planed
in my consciousness
a feeling
a chorus of emotions
like the petals of a rose
my love grew
for you
blossoming
into something beautiful
so beautiful
it overshadowed
the thorns beneath
for every petal
that bloomed
another thorn
would appear
never noticing them
until your presence
was no longer
then i felt the sharpness
and the pain
of your complete absence
looking up
through the cloud blooms
into the heavens above
for those precious petals
that shower my soul
with your everlasting beauty
