waiting...


I am a rosebud, perched on its stem

Anticipating the moment in time

You notice me and choose to bend over

And deeply breathe of my fragrance

Allowing my essence to fill your desire

To reach out and touch my leaves

Stroking them between your fingers

I quiver as I wait for your lips upon my petals

Your tongue to search for my dew

To probe deep to find my roots

To turn me ... into a rose
