When Tulips Bloom <br /> <br />Look not for me when tulips bloom <br />With petals stained a vibrant red, <br />Whose seeds lie under snow's dark tomb <br />I will not be there for I am dead. <br /> <br />With petals bright a showy white <br />Don't look at the fragrant tulips cup, <br />I will not come with you tonight <br />Watch meandering bees dip heads to sup. <br /> <br />Do not expect to hear my healing voice <br />Or my face to seek for life's sweet rain <br />Can't you see I have no choice <br />For your smile I'll never see again <br /> <br />Oh to again seek for life's sweet rain <br />Whose seeds lie under snow's dark tomb <br />Your smile I'll never see again, <br />Look not for me when tulips bloom. <br /> <br />Jim <br />2008<br /><br />James Casey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-tulips-bloom-2/
