Lily-Of-The-Valley Poem by Mark Heathcote

Lily-of-the-valley
You're immeasurably
Beautiful as was Eve
You alone now exceeds.

I wholly adore you
I care not tears ensue
Duplicities treason
The Garden of Eden

I leave for the woods now
Bracken, ivy here endow
Let this sweet potpourri-
Bequeathed, poison me.

Enter my heart and soul
Love, darken your eyes kohl
Not for their purity
I care incurably.

Or that hoary lustre
Marbled alabaster
Your aroma I find
Soothes and leaves me resigned.

Like the roots of the soil
You totally embroil
Ensnare me head to toe
Like treetop, mistletoe.

Lily-of-the-valley
Your sweet music finale
Touches my heart's core
Bell-like tunes allure.
