Cheeky flowers

Phil Lister2 Comments

As the sun starts to rise

The darkness falls

The cold disappears

And we’ll have a ball

.

We open up

And reveal ourselves

Ready to be taken

As if on the shelf

.

Feed on us

Suck us dry

Rub yourself

Don’t be shy

.

That orange glow

Feels so good

Irreplaceable

Nothing could

.

As it eventually fades

To say goodnight

We start to close

As we miss our light

.

Off to sleep

Until the next day

See you soon

We’ll be back out to play

Waiting to adorn you

Phil ListerLeave a comment

I wait patiently

Waiting to adorn you

Your beauty

If only temporary

I still seek it

To quench the thirst

Of my eyes

To satisfy my need

Of inhaling your odour

To caress your

Soft velvetness

For the moment I remain

Patiently waiting

As a disciple

Why do you have this effect?

I never noticed it before

I just wish to nurture you

So you can give back

Your beauty in payment

So I can linger in your perfume

And think constantly of you

And even when you will die

I will have done my best

The coolness will come

And you will will be no more

My sadness will come back

But I will know

In myself

This goodbye

Shall not be

The last

I will wait again

Reckless roses

Phil Lister2 Comments

I am a useless gardener

I kill everything

Whatever you give me

Whatever you bring

I love flowers

Roses true

The only one I don’t kill

That is true

Reckless with roses

As much as you want

But they flower again

A beautiful plant

Oh how they smell

Their glorious whiff

I can’t stop myself

From having a sniff
