Perennial Love

I yearn for you Like a garden does for rain On a mid-summer day. In your presence, I am lush with life Inspired to yield A bountiful harvest Of sweet tomatoes for us to share And bright zinnia to shower you with Jealous of your divine beauty. While plants go dormant At the first sign of frost My commitment to you is perennial With roots that thicken After each season of life I spend loving you.
