Daises in a droplet
roses in her hand
His kiss helped her forget
what she couldn't understand
*
Why love was so alluring
but fickle as a child
No telling what the day would bring
So, she decided to be wild
*
To tame her, would break her spirit
He would rather make her purr
He would stay silent, just to hear it
That memory always was a blur
*
Cause she blew in like the weather
and left a worn path behind
But when they were together
the universes intertwined
*
She wore a hundred different faces
each one more alluring than the last
And she introduced him to some places
somehow still made him flabbergast
*
And he did the same for her
he let her be more than she was
All he needed was to stir
encourage her with his applause
*
He became the wind, to fuel her fire
she needed him, to fan the flame
He wanted her, his wildflower
to settle down, and take his name
*
But love had burned her once before
she could not give him, what was lost
She promised, anytime on any shore
no matter wave or valley crossed
*
That she would be his wildflower
keeping the wild, for her name
And she would not want for another
her desire for him, would stay the same
*
But as love goes, he couldn't settle
all or nothing, she heard him cry
So, she scattered all her petals
kissed his face, and said goodbye
*
Daises in a droplet
a thorn stuck in her heart
Now she tends to her own garden
and waits for love, while they're apart

Whoaaaa, this was so breathtaking! Magnificent!
Up until his "all or nothing", all I could thing was "Where the Crawdads Sing". So sad the name (& possibly piece of paper), meant so much to him. I understand it (I'd be forever insecure without that level of commitment--making it official, that is, not the name or piece of paper). But it's sad just the same. Do you think he'll ever return? Will she have him if he does?
This is Astonishing ❤️😉💯👍📝✨
oh wow, so beautiful.
Thus is absolutely beautiful. Well done, my friend.
So beautiful and some exceptionally breathtaking lines in here. So hard to pick my favorite but I really loved this: "He became the wind, to fuel her fire she needed him, to fan the flame He wanted her, his wildflower to settle down, and take his name" 😍😍😍😍
Stunning
