By Suzanne Lauer
My prayers went unanswered
so long
They grew stale
buried in the folds of time
so long
Never to meet my female love
so long
I looked,
so long I prayed and hoped.
Now you flutter so gently
down to sip my sweetness
embracing all of me,
I stare up at you
amazed
at your love
And my petals open
to bloom
only for you
after
so very long.
