XX-2

Flowers Ablaze

Not even the larks
in their most vivid
fulfilling
dreams could
imagine beauty
as unique as yours
they could spend
entire lifetimes
spanning across generations
drenched in futility
striving to
broach the surface
of the depths of
your beauty,
songs will be sung
but none ever, as
unique
as you.


Antiquated Souls

My promise to you
is not
wealth
or material
furnishings, but is instead
a promise to appreciate
and bestow undivided attention
treated right,
until my bones ache
and my lungs breathe only
dust
and my heart is
cemented with
debris,
even then so, I promise
to appreciate
everything you mean
to me
and will never
let you down.
That is the foundation
of my
promise.
