Sonnet XIV: Flowers in My Room

I will always have flowers in my room

To give color and fragrance to my life,

Diluting forays of the black of gloom

And overpowering the scent of strife.

I will always have fruits on my table

To retain the fiery warmth of my youth,

Forsaking the view of 'until I’m able'

And slay mortality with living truth.

So shall deep desolation be smothered

By the perfumed allure of fresh blossoms.

And the hunger for life will be fostered

Surrounded by children of love’s kingdoms.

My true love promised to be the flower,

My scions, the fruits in the happy bower.
