Modern love between two flowers
Himaya Perera 2004 (Colombo)
If I am the modern _Emily Dickinson_
The poetess who expressed
Passionate love for her lover
Inking the teardown scarlet paper edges
Would you be the reader,
_Sue_;
Add meaning to each letter, word and line
Hide behind verses of velvet red rose petals
Be dew drop inspiration of a realistic fantasy.
With the burning desire of love, stop by
Absorb the sour taste of lavender stains
Spread across inside envelope covers
To get a high,
From poems tale at midnight
To rhythmic hypnotizing hymn
Where sparks ignite brighter than stars
In those Hazel eyes
With crystal clear tear drops welling up
Like drizzle,
Trembling to thunder and lightning patterns
Painted by fingertips through vines
