Jonquils

Your words stick in my heart
like little white flowers clinging to my red hair.

They are quiet and lovely
and bold.
If I ever have one bad dream of you I remember those little flowers; I smell the sweetness on my breath
and imagine it's a kiss from your soft lips that taste like
the rush of summer and the slap of spring.

Simple and sweet.
Just how I need you.
