This poem was inspired by a young women who I watched on YouTube who described that falling in love felt like a flower was growing in her chest. I think this is an incredibly beautiful and poetic image as being in love makes you grow as a person.
I’m not a girly girl, but I do adore flowers as they color the world and they remind me that life is wonderful. Even if you feel left in the dirt, you can grow and achieve anything.
Though I must admit that I definitely do not have green fingers!
Flowers
I feel like there's flowers growing in my chest,
There’s a spring in my step
You push away the autumn leaves.
The dust.
The dirt.
So I can finally
breathe.
Your warmth radiates
And hydrates my dandelion lungs.
Spring has just begun
And soon our summer of heat
Will commence.
Don’t build a fence
Around my hyacinth heart .
Let my love grow
Freely and unruly,
And we will see how it goes,
You never know how long it takes for a flower to grow.
