If your lips are roses,
soft and sweet with dew,
Then your arms around me,
are ivy or kudzu.
Your eyes are wildflowers,
their beauty so unique.
The first time that I saw them,
I forgot how to speak.
Your smile is sunshine,
on a blue-sky day,
Your laughter is sunset,
Made of colors I can’t convey.
Your thoughts are dandelions,
After a springtime rain,
Sprouting, budding, blooming,
And filling up your brain.
And your kisses, they plant seeds,
In my mind and on my skin,
always helping me grow,
And find my strength within.
So If you are a garden,
May I be a bumblebee?
To take what you offer,
And turn it to honey?
Bring sweetness to your life,
And help your garden grow,
You do the same for me,
Probably more than you know.
I’ll try to be sunshine,
When the clouds are gray.
I’ll be a cool breeze,
On a too-hot day.
If you let me in your garden,
I’ll help tend the weeds,
And shower you with love,
Anytime that you need.
Written for a lover
