Kiss me quick

  

First sign of spring

Spreading a saccharine mist that draws me outside

A striking metamorphosis

A trusted friend

Yesterday deep, romantic and confident

Today shy, changing and coy

Tomorrow pure, elegant and unrelenting

Each more beautiful than before

Sweet perfume drifts through my window

And I know that I am home

Traveler from the far west

As native as I to this arid land

Petals like painters rags

As perilous as oil paint

Never to be tasted

Constant changing masterpiece
