Sending you a flower

I meant to send you a rose today;  
but the distance was too great.

But not for words.

And I began to wonder:  
  how many letters before I match  
  the softness of a petal's touch?  
  How many thoughts, mulled together,  
  can conjure up the image  
  of lilies, waving in the spring?

I know your heart is fertile,  
and its soil ready for the seed...  
Would not a single, quiet glance,  
suffice to set the rendezvous?

Then here it is:  
  be mine.  
I think the silence says the rest.
