Daffodils

California, April 2017

My lover calls; Yearning for him, I go

Undetected – Where has he gone?

I miss you more, voices from down the hall.

Forbidden love has crept into these walls.

White clouds; to pouring rain.

My hue blackened, and you are to blame.

All your color for another;

Thieves welcomed as guests

Who is this plight?

What is her name?

What else do you call her;

When we aren't around each other?

Blasé, you watch me bleed;

Flowers I grew,

Never pretty enough for you.

A secret garden, only you held a key to.

Though a weed, you catered;

Withered roses, birth red dahlias.

How beautiful she is;

Your – summer sky.

My flowers were your favorite,

Jasmine, I remember.

Wildflowers, blossom in June

and, blossom I will.

Underneath her; pale blue.

Your hands no longer abiding in mine,

Lambs graze in lily fields; I grow best,

Where loyalty binds love and adorations last.

I still miss the feeling of your chest.

It is a shame; the sheep in wolves clothing

Made you, her prey.

Underneath trees, is where I will stay.

The garden locked, I swallowed the key;

Daffodils spring from my ears,

I never heard you call.
