You weave my mind like a flower crown,
Resting upon a monarch's head
During coronation day.

The flowers making you up were
Plucked straight from the fertilized dirt,
Freshly moistened with rain,
Of a fairies perfect flowerpot.

Stems, olive green,
Pushed towards the sky.
A central line of nutrients,
Feeding your cluttered mind.

I bow at the throne of your thoughts,
Feeding off every word.
Your lips, an altar to the proverbs they hold.
You, the preacher, speaker of all things
Pure and fine.
