To Be a Flower Is Profound Responsibility

Your smile to
me is sunlight. I want to be
in your light, breathing in your presence like a
disciple; I will lay a flower
on the altar of your heart. It is
a paltry offering for so profound
a love. I am made weak by you; you must claim responsibility.




Inspired by Emily Dickinson
