The Flower Of Love Poem by Elmer Romulo Valdez

You came into my life,
One sultry afternoon
Of a memorable summer:
I deeply care for you.

Sweet little words,
Conceived the promise
Of youthful affection:
And a dream was born.

The union was formed,
Filled with idealism,
Between young hearts:
Your heart and mine.

It was filled with love,
With understanding,
It was also a frail,
Delicate love affair.

Oh, my lovely flower,
I offer myself to you,
Tho' I no longer own
Your sweet, shy smiles.

Yes, I'll always write
Love letters and poems,
As I see your silhoutte,
In the glittering stars.

Now everything has decayed,
Our yesterday is the bridge,
As my only open passage,
To the edge of memory.
