my eyes soften <br />as they touch your face <br /> <br />six creamy petals <br />blush pale pink <br /> <br />six long stamens <br />sweat beads of dew <br /> <br />six dark anthers quiver <br />as if they were having a conversation <br /> <br />(the posh folk insist they be nipped <br />to stop the rusty dust) <br /> <br />O perfect lilium - <br />your beauty could not have evolved by chance <br />or by Darwinian accident of genetic mutation <br /> <br />There IS something else...<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-is-something-else/
