Never Before.
I came upon a block of pure colour.
Bewitchingly blue was the broad band
of irises framing a cottage wall.
Violet blended with Lapis lazuli.
The shock took my breath and stopped
further need for seaside walking.
Desire aroused passion to own.
I must sow a bed of this jeweled hue
and my empty garden adorn.
Iris magic shall better my move.
Never before have blooms stirred love
into which I willing now fall.
