Dawn Beauty
It was the striking beauty
Of dawn
Which caught my eye
The glint of early light
Reflecting off the liquid droplets
Accumulated on both leaf
And thorn
This precious flower's ruby lips
Had begun opening as if it
Were yawning
One could just imagine
Each of the layers opening
One by one
Drinking in the day
Growing more beautiful
With time
The Garden
You seem so cautious now, caught
In this transition of light
Glistening in the face of change,
You were used to the night.
And as you begin to move, I
Cannot help but stare
At the color of passion,
Unfurling with flair.
Carefully I reach out, and
Upon grasping, I tense
Taught a harsh lesson,
By your beautiful defense.
Coveting you is a crime, yet
The urge will always remain
A beauty not meant for me,
Your visage, my pain.
You symbolize love, but
All I know is regret
For now my only wish is,
That we had never met.
