LILIES

LILIES

                                         Breasts of Venus
                                         Cups of milk
                                         Givers of life

                                         Part not with happiness
                                         when the flowers wilt and milk spills from its petals,
                                         for these cups once were carriers of laughter
                                         filled with joy.
                                         Let’s drink, not in greed, but in patience and in bliss  

                                         They too, are there in death
                                         when on top of wooden last bed
                                         they peaceful rest

                                         They too, are there in love
                                         when their soft flesh
                                         gift me with the image of your body
                                         laying placid under the white linen sheets.
                                         In that instant, nature wrote the most enamoured poem

                                          Exuberant cups
                                          Lilies of life
                                          Company in the last breath
                                          When covered in morning dew and bathed in the first light,
                                          their god-like beauty
                                          are kissed by a thousand suns.

Not only beautiful, but memorable too and that succinct opening statement is, for a man of many words, almost to die for .. nature captured in all its glory .. Neville

Who Discarded the Red Rose?

A contemplation of my early poem Who Crushed the Yellow Rose

Who Discarded the Red Rose?

Who discarded her heart
and defoliated like a flower
after the storm has gone and passed?...
