Close to love The breeze of intuition warmly blows Against your face with magic of the night Awakening the senses now exposed Just as a flower opens to the light Intuitively nature takes its hold Unwrapping sentiments so long suppressed Unveiling thoughts you’d saved in petal’s fold And beauty of the love you have possessed The fragrance of your essence is his breath And now aware the beauty of the bloom Impulsively his eyes from in their depth Search for the rose they’re longing to consume The balm of your bouquet, adornment of A heart aware it lingers close to love Elizabeth Santos |
