My Forever Flower

I once read; that if someone loves a flower, they should love it from a distance 

They should admire it, 

enrich in it, and 

Cherish it from afar! 

Just so as to not misplace it, 

taint it, or in anyway, bring about death to it, 

Detachment scar,

Or harm!  

For a flower that is loved from afar,

Is said to be loved the very best... 

Its presence alone is too blessed to be tampered with or uprooted... 

I will always love you (my forever flower) 

I willingly do so from arms length, 

with tear filled eyes and weeping lips 

Because If I could go back in time, I'd put all my trust in you (my forever flower) 

And commit my heart from petal...To stem...To original seed. 

Yet just seeing you stand firmly, 

sway steadily and blossom ever so graciously, 

regardless of storm...

Fills me with true inner peace... 

True inner peace indeed! 

Learning To Walk & Fly

Experiencing distance travelled 

making stronger the commitment 
this glue 
the bond holding 
happiness in place 

Like lovers entwined in friendship 
me and you 
Always to be smiling 
when walking hand in hand.

I've allowed some fluttering 
my ground is weakened I say 
though you'd throw that out of 
loves court 
marked as case dismissed 
Your free to go 

So yes I'll flutter 
It's what I do 
And you being you 
Well.. 
You being you 
smoothing out my plumage 
Encapsulating the moment perfectly 
along with the fears before 
being thrown far far away 

Till only the fluttering of love 
Seen heard and wanted as we 
both learn to fly once more.
