A Humble Gift


Love, let me pick you
a bright bouquet,
all the flowers
of the day,
now, at our start,
freshly plucked
from the garden
of my heart.
Not as much
as you deserve,
but mine to offer,
and I do:
all I have to give,
but true.

  1. Tempestuous

    Near the Canterbury Bells,
    and symphonies of Angel Trumpets;
    there the Labiatae flourishes.
    Harvested dreams
    on fragrant pillows
    carried on summer's breath.
    Reaped in the calm
    before the ravages
    of stormy pinnacle.
    Pacified
    in the aftermath
    of wild outbursts
    it grows lush again
    in all its sweet-smelling
    splendour

  2. And from this lovely poem, I - a plant guy - learn a new and sensuous name. Lush, indeed...
