The sweet bloom of youth

A week ago on Friday (1st September), my little brother Aleksander came home from his second date with a girl. She had asked him out for both dates, and during the second one, she asked him to be her boyfriend. His response, well…

My little brother is an introvert, which is why she had to take all the steps. I have hidden her details to protect her privacy. The situation inspired me to write the poem below.

Poem:

There’s a garden where the young heart dwells,
Filled with fragrant floral spells.
A place of blossoming and becoming,
Under azure skies humming.

The tender buds of affection unfold,
Revealing petals of rose and gold.
Two souls awakened to love’s first blush,
Under the sweet bloom of youth’s hush.

A chrysalis opens to wings taking flight,
Into the mysteries of light.
The thrill of new life and purpose found,
In that enchanted ground.

A magical time of dreaming big,
Before life’s obligations dig
Their furrows in the fertile soil,
Where fanciful seeds now uncoil.

The future awaits, a story still untold,
But for now, the present is a gift of gold.
To be unwrapped with patience and care,
Blossoms beyond compare.

Appreciate each moment given,
Under the sweet bloom of youth’s heaven.
A secret garden, a special place,
My little bud, now blossom apace!

Unfurl your petals and spread your wings,
The song of first love now sings.
Drink deep the nectar of new beginnings,
Under the sweet bloom of youth’s awakenings.
