Flower names bow in the breeze,

Colors lie, their shine deceives.

Valerian hides, no one can see,

Shifting shapes, endlessly.

They call it gold, but branches fade,

White blooms vanish in the shade.

Valerian laughs, a fleeting flame,

A frozen sun, never the same.

Masks we wear,

Truth’s not fair.

A name says one thing, the body another,

Valerian changes, breath to breath.

Masked beauty, moving truth,

Words disappear, the mark holds proof.

Promised white, but hearts turn black,

Hidden pulse beneath the mask.

Valerian shines, a quiet fire,

Calm outside, but deep desire.

Masks we hide,

Truth won’t lie.

A name says one thing, the body another,

Valerian changes, breath to breath.

Masked beauty, moving truth,

Words disappear, the mark holds proof.

Am I the color, or just a sign?

A twisted name, a painted line.

A voice that fades, a shadow’s face,

Lost in time, lost in space.

A name says one thing, the body another,

Valerian changes, breath to breath.

Masked beauty, moving truth,

Words disappear, the mark holds proof.

Names don’t matter, truth runs free,

Valerian fades like a breath at sea.

Not false, not true, only the way,

A single path where shadows sway.
