Messenger flower
Jules Bouval
I planted a drunken kiss on this flower for you,
who stole my heart away in a single day.
May you guess the discrete caress
of this ardent love kiss!
I whispered to the palpitating flower
all the joy and pain you give me.
May you will find in its disturbing scent
these sincere, crazy confessions!
Finally, I put my whole soul into this flower,
as if I believed in the language of the flowers,
and I dropped all my tears, burning like flames,
into its calyx!
