The Flower By Any Other Name Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Standing with my back to the wall
Surely no one on me will call
Came and angel with sweet vocalizations
Sparked such satisfying conversations

As I gazed deeply inside I cry
Your eyes so stunning for those I would die
One touch sends me heaven bound
I could barely utter a sound

My eyes now bright and gleaming
Could it be that I am not dreaming
Frozen standing I knew not what to do
For the first time, I had no clue

Could it be that a beauty sees me
Most wonderful creature living in DC
From Wisconsin, you came into my day
Forever in my life, I hope you will stay

Thank God you came into existence
From you, I could never put up any resistance
Someone I can finally now relate
Could be a coincident or fate

Every text I now anticipate
Feelings now I cultivate
So much about you, I want to know
So many things to you I could show

I would breach any fortress to find you
I would swim any sea to be with you
Ascend mountains high I would scale
With you by my side, I could never fail

Dragons I would vanquish and lay at your feet
I would lay my jacket over puddles so you can cross the street
Gourmet suppers prepared for you to dine
Sipping on champagne and fine aged wine

You are my blue bird of happiness
For only you, I want to kiss and caress
You will always finish first in any contest
For you are nothing more than simply the best
