Adoration
Sanaa -
November 16, 2020
Earlier PoemsPoetry

Roses in their naivety wear blindfolds;
pastel red,
their fragrance, a moment transitory
that seeks
to align with the cosmos almost immediately.
I’d taken breathing for granted
until the day,
you stole the air from my lungs;
you are sweeter than any poem possible.

    I take breathing for granted… until you take my breath away.

    I love the rose connection to the cosmos and that the human connection has the same possibilities!
    And yes… love is blind as well!

    That naivety of roses while seeking fulfillment is brilliant as a metaphor for your confidence at the end. When something is totally unexpected it certainly can take your breath away.

    I’d taken breathing for granted
    until the day, – For me, you have captured that feeling of first being in love with these words.
