I see a man
searching for a rose
to give to a woman
he adores
and
i think like a bastard
the flower
i found
today
is so much better
than the cliche
you’re searching for

I see a man
searching for a rose
to give to a woman
he adores
and
i think like a bastard
the flower
i found
today
is so much better
than the cliche
you’re searching for
i walked by you
i found you
oversized
intense yellow
buttercup flower
who lives by the pond
you are not a freak
i do not see you often
you remind me
of love
i feel loved
we’re all
in the
same room
complaining
about
different
things
that looks fun
but everything else doesn’t
i go back
and
i like this
i tick the box
unfulfilled
why?
………………………………….
fulfilled?
why?
………………………………………….
i’m glad it was
spoken like this
real soon
fast paced
showed me
love for yourself
for humanity
for your work
for your family + friends
symbols of a person
