I was imagining myself getting married again and reciting these vows:) probably on<br />Our 25th but I have to change the amaranths to bouganvilla, peach blossoms to sampaguira and hydrangeas to santan!

It is lovely and lyrical (song-like). What I like most about the poem is the surprising turn at the final stanza, where the images of the "cold wind" and "flame leaf flowers" have a slight connotation of danger, unlike the beautiful images of the earlier stanzas. The final act of the speaker is to "lie with you" which connotes complete trust and surrender, thus declaring her loyalty, even to the point of death (as the verb "to lie" implies)--the promise of one's entire life given over to the other. Beautiful and powerful in a subtle way. Love it!Angela Narciso Torreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336427844179810745noreply@blogger.com
