A Flower

I have a flower, solemnly planted in my heart
Which in turn, harbours a collection of vague feelings felt within the heart
Throughout the daylight and noctime
Just like any other emotions filled mortal
I waited patiently for the fated someone...
To enter my dream

A flower,
That sways in the mortal world
A flower,
That gracefully dances with the wind
I hope for a pair of warm and gentle hands
To ease the loneliness and insecurities felt within the heart

A flower,
With floral scent sweetly permeates the entire stem
Who will come with a genuine heart...
To seek the fragrance and set it free with a true intention?

A flower,
Does not bloom for eternity but ever so shortly
Extreme weather of the summer or
During the cold winter
After enduring all it could
A flower,
Breaks and fall

Just like a woman
That resembles a flower
Beauty and admiration,
Exists ever so temporarily...
Like a dream

I have a flower in my heart
That will continue to harvest
A true passion and its true love
That is not understood by anyone

But why?
As the wild weeds have already conquered the entire hill
It is most painful to be a lonely fragrance that may only elicit self admiration

If ever
You smell a thick lingering floral scent
Never to ask
For whom the flower blooms

Having loved before, the severity of passion is known
Having hurt before, the severity of intensed pain is known
Having drunk before, the possessive alcohol content of liquor is known

Fate does not pause
It comes and it goes
Like the wind of the spring

A woman's beauty resembles a flower
While a flower exists only ever so temporarily...
Just like a dream
