Flower


I stare at you as lost in some trance
You are beautiful
Your beauty is fleeting quickly
You have been plucked from the ground
Soon death will set into your face
Your petals will grow dull
Your life will be but a wisp of wind
I weep for your fading beauty
It is true that all good things must end
I put you in a glass
I gave you water
Yet your smile faded from your face
And even today you lost one of your petals

Who was the monster who plucked you from the ground?
I will hunt them till days end
When I find them I will give them my revenge
All this I will do Flower for you
After all that nothing will save your beauty

You are dead now Flower
After all I have done nothing has worked to save you
And the truth is Flower
The one who plucked you from the ground
Was in fact me..

  1. I am not into poetry but I think that was good. I bet that would go over real well at a coffee house where people read their poetry.
