Flowers
Poems of Love
Enduring Love
Love comes in many guises, poems, verse and song.
Lover knows beloved’s soul is never known…
And that paradise is found by sharing the anguish and compassion in their inner homes.
Struggling Flowers
Rose desperately struggling to become an orchid, painfully attempts the unachievable…
Not recognizing its exquisiteness until she meets a petulant daisy…
Desperately struggling to become a rose.
