White Tulips

You cleared enough that I don't have a place in your warm bed.

I can't kiss your skin when just begun to ignite.

You won't run your hands through my hair.

But if I had a chance one last time;

I'd bring you white tulips every time,

I'd put a caramel shot in your coffee,

I'd kiss your lips twice...

But you saw me holding that girl's hand.

One glance the wrong way will spoil it! Nicely written poem about a slight mistake and trying to make up for it…happens all the time and mostly it means nothing but it can be blown out if proportion!!! Well done!!

This feels like you're pouring your heart onto the page. The contrast between wanting to reconnect with the person and the reality of being rejected is powerful.

Oh, now there’s a peace offering, white tulips often represent purity, innocence, and forgiveness. They can also symbolise new beginnings and fresh starts. In some cultures, white tulips are associated with heaven and spirituality.
They're like the blank canvas of flowers, ready to carry any message of peace and hope. 🌷 🙏🏻🕊

[Dorian]

Yes, white tulips were for peace, I'm happy you understood that. It's nice to have someone who can see the details read my poem.

[redd Brick Keshner]

Same here, and the work involved is worth it because thought and effort is put into both writing and reading. Cheers, Dorian 🙏🏻🕊

Highly interesting thoughts and actions. Women like roses and flowers other than diamonds offcourse.
Enjoyed the read.
