peaceful, beautiful, useless
you must perch in the wind,
dance in the rain,
withstand the cold,
& stay still in the soil.

flower.
Let the aroma,
the sweet intoxication,
of the lilies
take you away.
Their white petals,
beckoning,
follow them

The lily
is the flower for a home.
But Californian poppies
make me feel so home sick
Roses make me angry,
and any flower from Britain
Is a flower for a whore.
But lilies
I love you like I love air.
Sometimes I don't think about it.
But I find you there
at moments I need you most.
When im gasping clasping at my throat
for sorrows mote that drowns my soul,
There’s a Lily slowly growing,
At first she didn’t know what she was...
She thought she was born to be a Rose.
The Lily was wrong,
She was always told, that she was a Rose...,
When she asked me
what love meant
I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed
and cried suddenly.
The memories were stinging and burning and itching
and searing and lightly seasoned with salt and vinegar.
The clock ticks seconds away
A sudden ring -
Children scramble for the door,
But not Lily.
I wave goodbye to the others,
All the while pondering the lessons to come.
Will they improve?
Sweetheart, I will.
I've done this before.
Gone through this before.
I can pretty much guess the outcome.
You've seen me before.
Loved me before.
Rock my heart again.
Spoken like a true friend.
