The Flora and The Fond
October 10, 2022
A bouquet to my love-
To thee, I give my heart.
With asters and violets,
Adoration- my infatuation imparts.
A bouquet from my love-
Adorned with lily of the valley,
She caged my heart with wisteria.
Thus, in my veins, marigolds rally
A bouquet to my love-
A crown of moonflower for her head.
Speckled with mallow and magnolia-
Maybe morning glory instead.
A bouquet from my love-
blue hydrangea and azalea in disarray.
She sends anemone and asphodel next.
Finally, she brings lilies to my grave.
