Afternoon daisies

"i tried to write you a poem
but all that came out was
a bushel of flowers.
i'm sorry that the only
metaphor i can think of
to describe how i feel
about you is,
'the thought of you
makes my insides bloom.'
but a field of wildflowers
grew in my throat
since the first time i
touched you."
