Tulip’s Kiss”

“Tulip’s Kiss”


If tulip kisses
lips of spring
in dreams of warmth
that springtime brings
then when she blooms
with colors bright
will warm the chill
of darkest night

Cupped flower sits
upon a stem
that gently curves,
begins to bend
but penny dropped
into the vase
will stand her tall
for many days

Her satin petals’
brilliant hues
delight our eyes
the heart, her muse
and rainbow-ribboned
colors soothe,
a world
with perfect love infused

If she needs beg
of morning sun
and essence glows
till day is done
then when she’s called
to light the dark
her spirit’s flame
will kindle spark

And all the world
will better be
for once she bloomed
for all to see
and now we wait
to see her shine
in ways unknown
to earthly kind
