Love Sonnet XXV

....African Violets, a stealer of hearts

Love Sonnet XXV

 

 

She gave me African Violets, whose

purple petals, yellow centers

contrasted with her earth-toned

skin and eyes of blue sky

 

wisdom. She was my lover, her

warm gift of cosmic dreams

took me to unknown shores

of infinity. It was like

 

destiny was writing the poetry

of my misplaced words, crafting

them into well-springs

 

of life. She gave me African Violets,

whose purple petals whispered

to, then captured, my heart.
