Budding Affair

by Jayati Gupta

Cognizant petals grace
Blossoms in vase
Fragrance embrace

Soft scents
Colors thrust
Sense burst

Come into flowers
Shine in confidence
Bloom out splendor

Red, orange, cream
Sweetened dreams
Purple, grandeur

Luster magenta
Love adore
Pledge truce

Ease tired eyes
Pastel hues soothe
Weary relax, cured nerves.
