The Tiger in the Lilacs…
Orange with black spots, your cheerful colour greets mine eye
and fills me with joy right to my core.
Tiny fragrant purple flowers, as you shape yourselves
into those long delicate cones,
your scent always takes my breath away.
My orange tiger, you adorned my head on my most special day,
you will forever be treasured
because you remind me of my one true love and soul-mate.
Verdant bushes decorated with soft purple
and a scent that always brings the warmth of spring to mind;
I could smell you for hours
wrapping myself in the comfort of your delicate fragrance.
Spicy orange and royal purple,
together you emanate the dynamic contrast that is life.
