Xenia

Xenia
by Roy dela Cruz

She is a flower
Delicate yet teeming with pulchritude
Yes she is a flower
For I see her bloom everyday

She is a star
Distant and out of my reach
But she is a star
For she shines before my eyes

She is a candle
Meek and with teardrop sometimes
But she is a candle
For she brightens a dark corner of my life

She is a song
A beautiful melody in my ears
Yes, she is a song
For her voice brings harmony to my soul

She is all these
Perhaps even more
But there is one thing she is not
It's the one that pains me so
For she… is not mine
