Flowers In A Vase

Flowers in a blaze of rich colors
Burnt orange, raspberry, cream white
A tribute to our living, loving

Richness in every word we breathe
Sensuality in the faintest sigh
Creativity in the lightest touch

Fingers gently caressing
Lips whispering as they smooth
the faint creases in our breasts

Flowers, gorgeous flowers, our love
So rich, so fragrant, almost everlasting
Flowers in a vase, contained, alive

Living as our love lives, in richness
In all its infinite beauty
Ever changing, in color and form

Slowly, ever slowly, evolving
Then as petals fall, drifting away
Flowers in a vase
