Water Flowers

A 100 word poem (sorta poem).  Not part of my daily writing project, although I could cheat and say it was... but then it wouldn't be fair to anyone, especially me.  This is a challenge prompt that my mentor +Linda Maree Malcolm sent me, and I felt that doing it in this manner would convey the feelings that the prompt gave me.  

I actually feel a little conflicted in sharing this.  As this reveals a little bit too much of me, which is something we all try to achieve in our writing.  I just feel it reveals the weaker side of me.  Something I tend to veer away from at times.  

Well... Challenge prompt done.  I hope it meets up to my writing mentor's demands.  

I have a weird fascination with Lotus flowers, this is the second Lotus flower pic I've used on this blog.  

Enjoy!

Water Flowers

Pink petals blooming, parting in invitation.

Morning-dew glistening in day’s light,

Aglow in pleasure and anticipation. 

Warm air suffused with her essence.

She whispers across the lake.

Through morning fog.

Through morning chill.

A maiden-moan of perennial longing,

Look at me! (I am!)

Love me!  (I do!)

I lose myself to her beauty.

I lose myself to her scent. 

Craven hands reaching out,

Daring to touch this innocence.

To keep it for myself.

To help me forget.

I stand frozen on the shore.

Unwilling to depart to her comfort.

Loving her from afar.

Loving her the only way I know.
