Precious Facets
My precious being
many faceted
tested over time

Edges
worn
chipped
marred
selfish lover

My soul
remains
strong
pure

Your caring heart
tender touch
erase pain
freeing my heart
to love again.

- Lily c1994

Roses
Fragile and free,
roses quickly die
betrayed by a careless gardener
demanding
conformity,
boundaries,
denial,

don't
dance
in
the
breeze

never enough sunshine,
always reaching for the warmth,
shadowed by too many
clouds
too much rain
blooms f a d e
disease festers,
w ea-k-en-s, shrivels
petal by petal blossoms brown

beat by beat
trampled roots rot
into dust for worms to chew
never daring to bear
or bare to love
again.

-Lily c1994

Center Line
She took my dreams away.
She took my gift for play.
My art, my children, my life.
All because of a little white line.
Right is right. Left is left.
Lives shattered when they met.

- Lily c 1995-1996

Friendship
Our friendship grew
One moment at a time.

Our friendship grew
One word at a time.

Our friendship grew
One kiss at a time.

Our friendship grew
One hour at a time.

Our friendship grew
One joke at a time.

Our friendship grew
one glance at a time.

Our friendship grew
One day at a time.

Our friendship grew
One sorrow at a time.

Our friendship grew
One joy at a time.

Our friendship grew
One week at a time.

Our friendship grew
One silence at a time.

Our friendship grew
One tear at a time.

Our friendship grew
One month at a time.

Our friendship grew
One care at a time.

Our friendship grew
One revelation at a time.

Our friendship grew
One year at a time.

Our friendship grew into love
One lifetime at a time.

Mars & Venus
When least expected
Mars with a man's mind and body
Peter Pan's heart
kissed Venus in a car park

Long back & broad shoulders
Thick neck & snowy pate
Fuzzy chest & silky skin
Inviting eyes & painted brow
Bristly stache & prickly jaw
Semite nose & square chin
Warm smile & soft voice
Tender ego & gentle hands
Ribald humor & infectious laugh
Slim hips & hot lips

Won her heart
Let her be herself
Encouraged her when dismayed
Cheered her triumphs
Shouldered her hurts
Dried her tears
Let down his defenses
Shared his dreams and fears
Made her laugh and sing
Taught her to dance
Held her hand in the park
Enfolded her heart in the dark
Cared for her
Let her care for him.
