Passion Fruit

whenever I would 

swallow a fruit seed,

I was told that my 

stomach would grow a tree

after these years since

I've waited for this to happen,

I can honestly say that 

I've grown fruitful of passion

now that I’m older, 

I have an entire orchard

of these reminders

with each season's harvest, 

I become ardently inspired

and immersed into my 

purpose with heartfelt desires

however, something about 

summertime is rather sentimental

Does it have to do with flowers 

and picking off their petals?

for a wanderlust, there is not

one place to comfortably settle

each acre of land I've seen

has so much beautiful potential

I keep searching

though I don't know

what I'm looking for,

but I know that there 

is a love from within

too powerful to ignore

and when I finally have 

this breakthrough...

I will switch to

more grapefruit
