I love like an almond
tree
It’s birthed from a
hidden seed.
And to only the
patient
Can I reveal the
hearty earth
In which I keep it.
And if his amour is real
With due care
It’ll grow. And in due
season
One will reap it.
My love is like an
almond tree.
It rewards those who
know
Loving some women
Is a man’s most
arduous task.
But inside hard outer casings
Can be the sweetest
essence
And the richest oil of
joy.
It’s worth the
anointing
If you have the time
to endure
Until the almond seed
blossoms.
i like the thought of love like an almond...and i think in that second bit about a mans task of getting beneath the shell to find the real treasure really captures that...
