roots in earth

Why do I not love you
Why do I not long for you
This Earth with no expectation
lets a rose, a Lilly, take roots
holds the bud and lets it bloom
then when your love has
its roots deep in my heart
should stop love from bloom?

I cannot stop myself
from caring for this
deep root love of yours
which is entrenched in heart
Its my hearts nature
to hold roots, water them
and let them nourish
buds they support, to bloom

These roots are not just
flowers, colors or fragrance
they have thorns with them
which carry flower's fragrance
and it pierces through me
whenever I try to hold
the flower close to me
and soak in its fragrance

beloved, my love is no different
it tries to hold you close
without touching your tenderness
that is made for my heart
and takes care of my soul
which resides in yours
and still you ask, why do I love
why do I still long for you
