      The other day two
laurel seeds by wind were shaken
   off their noosting nook,
             by my way.
          Settled down into the
             soil and together twisting
               they took root under
                  the porous dirt.
   And it was not long after this, that two
      seedlings gently took sprout,
        tho' honestly, I could not
          tell them apart; they
            were of same specie and
                  of same look;
       their flowers that soon blossomed
          of same aroma, same intricate
                patterns and designs.
                    Twisting stems,
          together the corollas raising to the
               cumuli sprinkled sky.
      I watched this nature's act,
         as I lay on matted grass,
             my hair pressed against
                   the rough bark of
                       a tall laurel
            on an airy heap of leaves;
      my roots growing forth
             twisting with yours,
        as our fingers lay interlocked
               on the laurel's fallen leaves.

I indeed felt every verse of this, expressed so beautifully...

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart
