Attic lily,
Crafted from Michelangelo's hands,
a gem eyes fumble to adore
Shapes, lines, curves perfectly placed on
her body to sing hormonies that echo
perfect anatomy
Attic lily,
A dazzling dream, but her soul hugs a dead sun
fair marble sculpture,
built with a jungle of thin strings to fill
her entirety, a cat's cradle adorned
with twines of roses to mimic completion.
Naive,
she thought losing a few petals for the
happiness of others was brave
A rose for him, a rose for her...
Selfless,
she is a mirror, for her smile has
always been a reflection of others. Hypocrite,
she wears a face with printed traces of
happinesses to shadow the gloom
breeding under her own.
Attic lily,
strong built independent woman
But secretly prizes to be caressed in
hands with a feeble touch
...to be pursued with a genuine smile
..to be treated worth more than an art
piece in a gallery that eyes dart on
and forget about, the second they walk past.
to be checked on when her soil dries out.
Attic lily, she is,
for no one notices her unless they
need something from the attic.
