lilium tigrinum

the way you stand
so open in the sun
soaking it all in
sensitive to touch
if i touch you where you’re most beautiful
i could lose you much sooner
i’d rather gaze at your beauty
i only have a few days with you
but everyday, i meet you in the same spot
and i talk to you..
..to help you grow
so delicate
so bright
without you i couldn’t breathe
you’re so important
do you even know it?
the day has come
you start to fade..
dwindle
melt
droop
and finally diminish...
but we’ll meet again
and i’ll be there
to watch you bloom all over again
