Poetry / Would You Tell Me Your Favorite Flower?

Would you tell me your favorite flower? Oh, please, would you tell me?Confide in me- tell me your secrets.Your desires. Your aches and pains, joys and sorrows. Would you share with me each thought that scurries from your mind, each emotion, tender and raw, as it is thrust from your still beating heart? Will you trust me, knowing I cannot even let a murmur, be so truth or lies, escape mine lips? Would you, at so long of last, tell me-something, anything! Please, i wish to know, i wish to help you! Please, unlock your barricade that you have so tiresomely and roughly built, with weary hands and a fallen heart. Allow me entrance. Or, if you cannot, then lend me your key and i shall unlock it for you! All worries and pain, exhuberance and passion, share them with me so you need not carry them alone! Oh, please, would you tell me? Would you tell me your favorite flower?

Be it an odd request, i am well aware, but i must know! Tell me! Be it daffodils, lillies, poppies, carnations; I care not! Be it a rose, or such by a different name, but please let me know! Shall it be pansies, whisteries, or lilac bloom? Oh, tell me!

You ask questions, but need you know the answer? I ask of you your favorite flower for a reason: so that i may learn to draw it, to know it, sight and smell! Of, if i could only learn to draw your favorite flower- how often i would draw it! I could fill your days, your nights, your life with that bud; hand to you each morning, and everlasting memory in which you find such joy and pleasure! How i want to be able to show you my emotions, raw, beating. How i long to give you my key, for surely i am far too weak to open my fort by myself! But instead i shall settle upon a drawing. Merely a drawing.

So do you understand it now? Will you confide in me? Please, would you tell me your favorite flower?
