Do the romance thing
whether autumn or spring
whichever suits your aesthetic.
Remember though,
harsher conditions do follow
and they may become unbearable.
That is called
selfishness
and lack of trust.
The jasmine won’t bloom
for your desires,
yet she will to evolve for her.
Therefore,
with
or without you,
A deserving romance
with much sincerity
will appreciate her.
Covered with ice,
snow, or when she
gasps for summer showers
You’ll attain the purest
of intentions as you exist
outside of autumn or spring,
With trust that she has to
and will evolve into her,
regardless
She’ll always be free and as
necessary to existence as you,
send her your love and make it true.
Sharita A. Sims, self-published author of Vacuum Reality and Blues Is My Happy Place, was raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the midst of poverty and the Baptist church practice as an adolescent in the new millennium. Either by being an old soul, or perhaps the product of elderly influence, has molded Sims with her wisdom as throughout her life she has been able to express her understanding of life with the spirit of her ancestors guiding her tongue and words. As a writer, she is commanding of the reader’s heart and consciousness with her devotion to provoke emotional responses, thoughts, and to inspire intimate bonding within her culture.
