Past the bloom

This statement piece was created using artist quality acrylic paint and is on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. It is float framed in raw pine, signed and has a certificate of authenticity.
 
No thorns pierce here,
the bloom within my heart expands
and even when petals fall, they’re caught,
dried by delicate fingers
between the pages of magic and adventure
and romance and tragedy,
each petal a word, a sentence, a paragraph
of you.
