Romance Poem: The Bloomer by Rain, by Yashae Mitchell

Time faded like yesterday’s flowers in the vase,
but our love only knows how to bloom
When you said you’d cherish me forever,
I thought you reckless
Your eagerness, disconcerting
You undressed this derelict rose of her harrowed petals
and kissed the thorns with seasoned tenderness
You rolled up your sleeves and weeded through unruly terrain
Now my heart is a garden of Elysian bliss
When the darkness threatens to steal my breath
When the moon extorts barbarous screams from my weary soul
You pull me into the cocoon of your benevolence,
blinding me with the brilliance of compassion
You sow layers of love into my pores
Now we both reap the fruits of undying passion
Let’s always stay this way
Blissfully suspended in the rapture of love
Sweet caretaker of my heart,
Never stop changing for growth becomes you
But never stop tending to this volatile garden
Never let the flowers die
Keep planting those eager kisses on my wanting forehead
and assume my thoughts
Because darling
It is so easy to see
Love becomes me because you love me
