Her Flower
A Poem
Jul 25, 2023
You offer me your rose, a most precious gift, a secret that can never be told.
If our unholy union is revealed, we risk being banished forever, taken away from the family fold.
Your flower is more special than all the world’s diamonds and pearls, silver or gold.
No amount of currency deposited could ever be enough, your flower never to be sold.
So irreplaceable, more valuable than a Van Gogh work of art.
I will treasure it forever, keeping it safely locked away, deep in my mind, soul, and heart.
