Camellia Poems - Poems about Camellia

Are You Seized, Camellia

Are you seized, Camellia
Of a secret grief
To let slip, uncontrollably
A blessing too brief?

A silly thought, true; only
What for it grasssed, glows
Of father's death at the prime
Emblematic shows.

Camellia

We know her as Camellia...that fine name,
a perfect one for someone sweet as she;
her silky skin and amber eyes proclaim
a charming, pristine beauty, all agree.

Just like the flower's petals, pure and white
are shaped into a cup of perfect form,
Camellia molds her care to help them fight
the painful journey to more healthy norm.

Our dear Camellia comes
