Love Poem: A Flower

A Flower

Such a beautiful flower I hoped to find
    to gather your affections to close bind
  but no such flower could I find
     Instead, I plucked these words from mind
I thought about this flower and the hour
    in which the time will grant
     a gift from me to you, creating lover's slant
ohh, much time did come to pass
     before I saw myself as ass
       undoing my desire
    better you are than my passion's fire
         for without the fuel the fire dies
     for this, the flower in my eyes, to you fails to compare
but the flower within you, to show my care
    is the object I must find
to watch and help you grow and myself to you must bind
So I'm still looking for this flower
  but no longer but an hour
  do I hope to see my thoughts and desires become reality.
I look for flower within you, what will you find in me?
