Spring has come with lily’s bloom
the most pretty flower in any room
I’d like to cull her, receive a kiss
chance at bliss, lover’s hiss
the hummingbird came to hover
any dream that dares to flutter
He stole her scent, her soul, her color.
I am zealot for this elegant florent
her smile, a spark, the stars themselves lament
I thought she bloomed for me, hopeful vase
but I was petals lost, their trace
Her smile I chased through four seasons spin
yet found the dream was never mine to win
She sang me down with stem of deceive
then cut my hair, my soul couldn’t conceive
my floral love is so naive
a white flag heave, left to grieve.
A poem about someone who is in love with a girl named Lily, which is also the name of a flower, and who has to put up with her dating someone else. There are metaphors, images, and biblical allusions to Samson and Jacob.

I would be happy if you would leave a comment or like. I would love to hear your reviews and comments.

I loved you more.

Then I loved myself.

I sat there and forgave.

All your flaws

All your anger

All your secrets

But it seemed like you could never love me.

I tried and tried.

I huffed and I puffed.

But it was like a wall I couldn't entirely blow down.

It was like you went out of your way.

To try to get me out of your life.

I gave you more than you deserved.

I just wanted you to love me.

-Kat. J. K.
A poem about how love can be blinding
cassandra Mar 2021
seeing your eyes
for the first time
made me close mine

for a little while.

I was chaos in delicate lace,
in satin and taffeta; a pretty face
what they see is what I let
a peek behind; they may regret.

I was chaos in delicate lace,
with smiles charming--- tears no trace
lips with chapstick; smudge on side
nothing but a breathless ride.

I was chaos in delicate lace,
disarray with class and taste
I reek of Chanel and all things sweet,
nothing but a foul treat.

I was chaos in delicate lace,
only but a pretty face
a troubled heart and restless mind,
a woman whose love is always blind.
This one is inspired by my favourite line from the book I'm currently reading.

I yearn for love that is blind,
but I long to hear that my
eyes and lips are pretty

I champion love that is mind over matter,
but I cannot help but trace the shape of your body
and be happy that it is beautiful
