My Flower

I pluck you from the harsh earth
Careful not to tuch your sharp thorns
I hold you with my two soft hands
Admire the beauty of the half-open blossom
I bring you closer to take in your scent
An intoxicating scent you do have
I stand in a daze touching your stem
Still careful of your sharpness
I bring my lips to your petals
Kiss each one softly and slowly
I watch as you open up more and more
Slowly, ever so slowly
I wait patiently as I watch
Your sweet scent released with each movement
I can't help but to kiss you some more
And inhaling your inviting centre
I finally decide it's enough
The one flower for me has been found
I take you home where you belong
You'll be safe; away from the brutal world
I hold you ever so close
You are my one and only flower
