I Want
I want to be a lavender orchid
on your beaming verandah
That you'll spray water
and I'll see your face every morning.
I want to be a glittering pen
in your pulpy hand case
That you'll write poems
and I'll touch your emotions every day.
I want to be a brooding pillow
on your squishy bed
That you'll sleep deep
and I'll read your dreams every night.
