NEVER ENOUGH

Suffering
Floating away in a cloud
Leaving space for the tulip to spread its petals

Dying already
The impending death overshadows the beauty
And the tulip never tastes sweet enough

I think he is sweet enough
And so I sit, and wait, and long for his entry
A raging wish to be devoured burns me up inside

He is in me already, but I want more
My eyes, hands, and tongue… My heart
Ache and break to touch him and it is never enough

Before I notice the tulip has died.
