reminders of lilies (poem)

spring still somehow reminds me of you
sharp gaze, long dark hair, and sarcastic wit
wrapped up in horror movies and romcoms
a soft porcelain serenade on the breeze
with blossoms of new beginnings
of lilies blooming – and withering
demons we couldn't deny creeping forward
while we kissed with passion and flame
hurrying them to their destination – our end

every year since I plant lilies in the back
fall in love with the beauty that blooms
and say goodbye when their (our) time is up.
