Lilies

Roses, Tulips and Poppies

it all blooms around us

midnight

morning breaks

unstoppably

all around us.

I open my eyes

and it doesn't leave me

my senses are all blurred

I hear

I feel

and I fear

still it doesn't leave me

My mind blocks it

it enters inside slowly

suddenly

my adrenaline is wasted

I can't handle it anymore

I am waiting for the lilies to bloom.
