We picked flowers

Linea Ljunggren 2005

We picked flowers
in that burgundy room
Where light cowers
And thought bloom

I whispered to her silken heart
Those pensive eyes in the gloom
Were her mind from mine apart
Was this my doom

Her every movement took my breath away
How fortunate I loved her more dearly than the air in my lungs
A scarlet chrysanthemum, a simple gesture
Yet I knew I was lost
Belonging to those pensive eyes
