Floral Arrangement

I am not able to tell

If it's a flower you're after.

Perhaps you merely wish fun

And temporary laughter.



I cannot give you flowers

Until I'm sure of your aim.

A happy daisy, smiling,

Would not do if passion 's your claim.



A red rose richly scented

Would not do to create a chain.

I will not waste my flowers

If heady emotions you feign.



But I am willing to lend

Bouquets and baskets of sweet blooms.

Until I know your true depth

I'll open windows, but not rooms.
