I.
Her striking black on vibrant blue
Caught his eye from across the room
Her heart unfurls, reveals a light
She lets him see her darkest night

He’s seen the beauty in her soul
He helps her grow, he makes her whole
Like blossoms reaching for the sun
They thrive in love for years to come

Flash forward to their wedding day
She gently holds a fresh bouquet
A deep black ***** surrounded by
Forget-me-nots blue as the sky

Her blue and borrowed, old and new
Caught his heart from across the room
Forevermore, their love holds true

II.
Her eyes shoot open, she’s awake
It was a dream, a cruel mistake
The sky is black, her tears are blue
There’s nothing more that she can do

I found a love, but at a cost
When sweet dreams end, the love is lost
The flowers feel their final frost
Ekphrastic poem inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's "Black ***** and Forget-Me-Nots"
