flower press

i am hesitant
yet willing 
to press into 
you
i don't know if my 
fragrance of 
softened aromatic flowers
are strong enough 
to combat
the smell of 
your 
bitter hardened roots.
but we shall try. 
i am not afraid to get my 
hands dirty
and help you 
remove the unwanted parts
that even you 
are ashamed of.
i will go down deep 
with you,
and we will remove 
the decay, 
the infected dying 
parts,
and we will lay 
new soil,
rich in living water and 
hearty nutrients,
and soon 
our fragrance will 
fill the air 
and 
no one 
will be able to 
tell the 
difference.
