Ode to getting flowers
James masters gave me
2 dozen roses,
that he picked him self
from his mothers garden.
5
24 roses
So beautiful and vibrant
Reds, pinks and a splash of yellow
Running together,
Like a sun set on a beach
Melting away in to a bright full moon
10
Surrounded by twinkling stars.
I took them in my hands
One by one,
there fragrance wafting
15 A smells so sweet,
so pure and clean
As if it just rained.
Nervously,
I resisted the temptation
20 as I felt a sudden
Rush of excitement,
like a desperate dog
Waiting, hoping
for his master to throw the ball.
25 I wanted so badly to put them in
A glass box and
Preserve there beauty,
Like an ancient artifact
Fragile and delicate.
30 They were meant to be enjoyed
There beauty,
There smell,
There meaning to me.
I never thought twice
35 as I took
24 magnificent roses,
placed them in a vase
and put them on the table.
