Never Settle for a kiss
I wish you did not dwindle
I'm enslaved that settled dry leaves still
abolish innervation within the grip of my hand
I hand you the stem and rosy petals holding them from the leaves
sentiment plant that electrifies me
similar to your kiss as we lean on each other's lips
as I straighten my back to stand strong
like your petals tinder vexation
I wish you did not dwindle
I'm enslaved that your settled dry leaves still
abolish innervation within the grip of my hand

The use of “dry leaves” is effective here. I also enjoyed your use of “innervation” - its repetition especially is extremely powerful.
