![]() you are goldenA Poem by lilypadroses are red, like a kiss, a stamp, a heart that has bled or white, like doves, a dress, a jewel shining in the light you, my friends, are yellow not like dirty snow or old stains in carpet; yellow like the sun that blinds us on our walk, stars we gaze at from different windows until we look away, keys that unlock us with every little talk i picked the freshest flowers for my bouquets but time has long passed since i searched the meadows i hold them carefully, as if they might shed their petals i worry they’ve run their course and time will show will the vines untangle and fall? i decide you don’t know me at all i turn away and look back you’re still there you are growing you are golden. © 2025 lilypad |
