A Flower For My Soul

a flower for my soul

for I still have love 

in me

the love in me isn't 

all romantic cravings

and touches

it is mostly aesthetic 

trivial and frugal

the love in me

explodes at the sight of 

beautiful red sunsets

the love in me

hugs me when i read a 

heartwarming quote

the love in me pats my shoulder

when I am able to paint without

tearing up the pages or self doubt

the love in me smiles 

when I finally pick up my

very destroyed confidence 

and wear that black dress

the love in me pushes me

to write more and more

and never give up on the

writer in me

the love in me tells me that

I am more than enough

and nothing can stop me

and trust me, nothing is more

platonic and romantic than these

little joys that I find with myself 

i don't find the need to have

a partner to tell me the dos and don'ts

a flower for my soul

for love resides in me

within my very heart

that at time freezes but knows

her ways to thaw and bloom

just a tiny flower for my soul

would be enough
