Sunflower Woman
By Handsum-Hart

A sunflower must follow
The rules of gravity.
When its florets ripen
With hundreds of edible seeds
It must bend its body
Into the earth's bosom
And allow the birds
To eat its seeds
That are rich in oil

A woman must follow
The rules of romance.
When her lips ripen
With hundreds of edible kisses
She must surrender herself
Into her man's arms
And allow him
To eat her kisses
That are rich in passion

A sunflower on a sunny day
Will turn its face
Towards the sun
And with joyful eyes
Watch it move across the sky

A woman on her wedding day
Will turn her veiled face
Towards her husband-to-be
And with eyes soaked in matrimonial joy
Watch him move across her soul

The nickname for Kansas
Is the Sunflower State
For it is where
Every sunflower dreams of living

The nickname for a man's heart
Should be Kansas
For it is where
Every sunflower woman dreams of living

I Haven't been here to review your works like we formerly did..funny how time ages everything but our words? Oh and our art :)

I love your comparitive expression between sunFLOWERS and to be honest- all women- blossom - under the nurturing hand of her loving gardener. My first love was such a situation for me. we were both the same age in our 20s and I could just see how much of- the layers of myself- were peeled away, leading to my inner core.

Thank you for such a beautiful poem that is much food and seeds for thought.

I too write about sunflowers affair with the sun in my various poems like in 'In my father's house'but this is unique.
As I stand in the corner with my seeds fallen and seeing the young ones growing into young fresh flowers,once more I enjoy watching the passion in their face and the drama in their lives and also think of mine!! JK roseline

Beautiful work, Sir Hart
Think I'll put my sunflower hat on and dream of living in Kansas, not the state.

Take care
