I shall blow a periwinkle
by your side today.
I taught it to whisper
your name, but
if it whispers to you yours,
know that it is love.
-
My poetry is failing now to find the way,
The way to lighten up from my own shambles
breathing these iambs in the voids of air,
The air from heavens you bring
Letting me breathe and saving me.
A amaranthine spark you are
Guiding is your reflections.
Your visage imprinted on the highest ranks
I am quite sure in the heavens.

Describe a flower without
using flower name.
She's a grandmother
who's prettier for blooming
through her cracks and wrinkles.-
A beautiful periwinkle kisses
the exhausted night sky
With your fragrant lavenders
I find myself on a high
In the sheets on the grass
As we lie holding ourselves
and thunders in the distance
get louder than our words...
Our gardens within, blossom
As the atrocious skies view
our drenched sensualities fly.
-
I pluck an office flower
and tuck it in your raven
locks precisely on the top
of your right ear.
At that very moment,
professionalism sneezed.-
One flower blooms abundantly,
named periwinkle;
Enriches the garden humbly,
without trouble.-
Two buds had promised to stay together.
Months later, two periwinkles
bloomed on the same branch.-
•Periwinkle•
I've never been a rose in lover's hand
I'll never know the Rose's blush
A wild Periwinkle, I am
Simple and unadored,
who knows the beginning of love is not,
"I love you" but,
" I'll be there, when others will wither."-
