Sunflower

Sunflower

He danced around a wishing well,

He tipped his silk hat, and buckled his knees

The trees swayed in the breeze.

The sun was shining in the sky

His heart felt light, soaring high

As he picked from a sunflower garden nearby  

He went down on one knee,

Praying that he would soon be with thee.

He adjusted his frock coat,

In the nearby horizon he spotted a boat

He dabbed his forehead with a handkerchief

He checked his watch:

It was half past six.

A whirlwind of love surrounded him,

The sun in the sky began to dim

He felt full in the presence of love

His hands shaking in his pearly white gloves.

He sang a jolly tune

As he waited for June

Exhaust from the boat filled with fumes

He puckered his lips as it docked

And looked towards her direction in shock.

Out came June with her shiny brown hair,

Her skin porcelain, and fair

Her yellow dress flowed in the air.

He walked away in disbelief,

For he was not the prince for thee

And dropped the sunflowers in the sea.
