 ~~~ The Tulip She Gave ~~~ She came Giving a yellow tulip To him Lost He didn’t know what does it tell him He wanted to stop her And say The thoughts That seemed to come His way But She just gave the tulip to him left too quickly That when he looked He only saw the trace of her hem He went back to his chair Sat to just stare stare at the lonely tulip she left Was it a way to mend the rift? She just looked at his eyes Then went a way Leaving him Bewildered Trying to figure What does she want to say? A tulip?! A proud Lofty flower Standing erect Like a tower Magical And true Holding The mystery of the heart Hidden Deep down And guarded from view He sighed Remembering her heart An enigma Hidden from him from the start No matter how he tried To go beyond The mysterious shield Her heart never really yield Forever surrounded By golden Magical high walls ever enticing like the lofty petals of a tulip How many times He tried to peek over the borders The edges Of those walls But they stood So tall He tried to see From between The enchanting lines Of the mystery Tried To move The high petals aside Just a bit But A tulip It was And never allowed that bit Finally he gave up And was contended to sit Silently And watch See her, Was all that he wanted Be near Was enough for him Even if her nearness Tormented him Her majestic presence Overwhelmed him Time and time a gain And he wished secretly That her heart Was his to gain And now Now She gives A silent Yellow tulip To him Never really knowing How much it tortures him For looking in books He finally knew what does it say She gave him a symbol Of unrequited love Oh… Did she really think he would shove the love He dreamed of Right there within His heart And wished It to echo In her heart… He went to her And gave her A red tulip And whispered to her “Tulip really resembles you with a heart forever hidden from view A yellow one You gave me Never really knowing How much it shakes me To look at the silent message it tells but red I give you to simply tell how much my love has secretly resided in its silent cell So....never Never speak of unrequited Love To me Your love would Resides in me Eternally” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Wow, sometimes it is hard to find the correct words for a poem with depth such as this. So let me just say I like it and WOW. Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

How lovely. I wonder, if I gave the tulip, what would happen? Not a red in return, I think. This was so beautifully painted, much enjoyed, and always, I relate in so many different ways. Sandra |

A most magical flower, as is this poem. Makes me wonder who she is and what she's about to be able to cajole a red tulip... -MVS "Learn to let go of fear, doubt, and disbelief..." --THE MATRIX |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh, this is so so sad but soooooo beautiful and tender! (sad sigh) My heart cries tears of joy to feel this loving promise, but also of sadness of how the heart misses love all the same! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is sooooooo beautiful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
