My eyes glisten with the reflection of clouds forming the shape of your name

I can hear it whispered behind the rustle of the bushes like a rabbit saying a prayer

You haunt me in the most beautiful way, the lament of our love etched into my brain like a tattoo

Thoughts of you are an invasive species

I find them in every damp corner of my mind, eating away at the inside of my skull

I notice myself admiring them more and more everyday

They're more sublime than any flower could ever dream to be

Exquisite nectar slides down the petals, leaving a gossamer trail of golden essence leading straight down my spine

Vines sprout from the tips of my fingers and wrap around my forearms, decorating me in a lush reminder of our connection

My eyes sprout bulbs with your facial structure, blooming around my head like an antithetical crown of thorns

I bury myself in soil to give way to the garden of you, my soul seeping into sustaining fertilizer, leaking out my bones and into the dirt

My veins snake down and root themselves within the earth, cementing my enraptured tomb

The garden of our love will blossom for hundreds of years to come

Our spirits will breathe life into every sprout, cultivating flora beyond simple beauty, into something so ethereal it could almost be mistaken for you
