Periwinkle

My Dear Madam:
Ah yes
A simple periwinkle
Meant to soothe
To quiet your fuss
Giving you pause
An opportunity to measure
The depth of its blue
To count its petals
Their scent uncomplicated
And as you admire its delicate allure
From your pinnacle of madness
Amidst the balderdash
And the hodgepodge
My hands
Upon your fine bones
Alight a royal shimmer
Pouring across your entirety
Surging through capillaries 
Warming the tips of fingers
The ends of toes
And in that moment
As your soul flames sapphire
You fall dazed 
Beyond the succor of flowers
Upending all that is decent
Melting into my arms
Covering me with stunning cerulean ash
