sonnet sixty one

this is what i live for –
misty afternoons with just
you in my thoughts,
like flowers left to blossom

in corners touched by
sunlight, the petals filtering
all the love you can offer,
roots seeking the caress

of water on earth,
never minding the dent
it leaves after passing

after all that is one thing
we will never be, for you
nourish all i am made of.
