Two Lilies

In the cold February

you bloom;

eight petals flush against my ribs

in the warmth of

my centre.


Your fragrance

entrances me;

reminds me of the valley

and the rocky coast

so far yet always inside.


There is music in your colour;

notes repeated

to form a harmony remembered

in more than my ear.


Golden pollen

adorns my body;

words from your mouth;

remembrances of where your lips have touched.


I open,

curling back to expose to you

everything you have shown me to be yours.
