On falling in love with her

On Georgetown

She stopped to smell the flowers

Blooms forged from the thaw

Slowing down time

to savor a moment

Singular and shared

as life moved on around us

Her movements are intentional

driven by a knowing

of who she is and what she wants

Bold. Unafraid to

shine

An energy contagious and

intoxicating

She bends to the bloom

the face painted bright

with the afternoon

sun traveling along her body

It could only dream

to be as radiant as she

On playing the field

In a field of endless wildflowers

She is the bloom

To which I will always return

Too delicate to pluck

For I would not wish

To watch her wilt

Instead

I will nourish her soil

And savor her growth

As I bask in her beauty

On nighttime

I love the moon

And she loves the rain

The night’s glow lives in her

And I’ve an internal storm

That she’s helped to slow

to a refreshing spring shower

Quiet and comforting

The drink by which the earth’s thirst

Is quenched
