Love Poem: Beautiful Flower

Beautiful Flower

When love is 
unencumbered and 
free to grow as it will, 
it is like 
an exquisite flower, 
its blossom
unfolding in the sun. 
But if it is not 
nurtured 
and tended, 
the flower withers 
and dies
and there is 
nothing left 
except
fallen petals 
on the ground.
