The Tulip

 

 

 

Do you want to see me

do you want to speak to me?

I'm here with my colourful pictures

pictures of you and me

I will hand you my life

on a plate filled with tulips

and wrapped within each petal

will be a piece of my world

You can hold it

or discard it

its up to you

but i hope you

sprinkle it with your light

make it burn with pretty colours

like a rainbow on fire

it will then touch

the very dark black soul

of my life

and expell it into

a glorious most fabulous

array of love!

I felt a child like trust in the person offering up their life, or maybe more accurately, their heart. The imagery of it being in pieces and wrapped in something as tender as petals is lovely and delicate. This stood out to me: "You can hold it or discard it its up to you but i hope�" It is a gesture of surrender filled with hope. Hope is important. We are lost without hope.

Emz, "Black soul". Please explain this to me. This is a piece that makes me contemplate on what the underlying issues are here...makes me want to sprinkle light for you. Of course the emotions are there, with each word and the words in turn wrap around your mind. Very fine writing...

Hi emz

I would give to you the same lines as favorites as Rock And Roll Cowboy has given you but hate to give you almost exactly the same review. LOL This is though very loving and beautiful and I have to agree with his words. This to me could be written to a new love but could also be a very nice invitation to visit your words that you so skillfully weave. I so enjoyed.

Blessings,
Lesa
