In the hallows
of my mind
I enfold
my
coral rose.
Gently
stroking
his brow.
Blowing over
him
a breath of
cool air,
protecting him
from the
scorching heat
of the sun.
Supplying
him with
heavenly
tear-drops
when he is
thirsty.
And in the
evening
rock him to
sleep in my
cradle of love.
He is a most
precious
blossom
in my
bouquet
of life.
