Flowers of love

Yet again floret of memories

Swirls me amidst the night of flowers

Caress of petal lips done my soul

Desires entwine as pink vine bowers

The mystic fragrance of our love stroll,

Blooming blossoms induced reveries.

Waking to wilted flower fragrance

Bringing reminiscences alive

Preserved betwixt the pages of heart

Love reverberating in cadence

Frail yet survive years to fall apart

Flowers in our garden of love thrive.
