A Sonnet to My Love VII

A romantic cliche that grows garden

Of passiflora and bed of roses.

Admittedly a show of charm/appeal

To the one th' blooms on the patch of my heart. 

Springing forth the colourful winged larvae 

In my abdomen— feels like the cloud nine/

The seventh heaven. [Luxuriously reared,

Carefully cultivated— a d'vine growth]

A floriculture of admiration—

I plant my love and flowers on different 

Vegetation. With influence of the

Latter on the former and the former

on the latter. An ecosystem of 

Such aesthetics and affectionateness.
