Sifting through remnants of yesterday’s passion
saving the morsels of thirst quenching dreams,
savouring scraps of love’s fleeting embers,
sampling the flavoured seeds of extremes.
Narcisstic sentiments time can’t relinquish
incessant, negligent self imposed pain,
acidic heart beats burn with a mournful
sigh of acceptance that memories feign.
Decaying petals espied in the debris
strewn on the heaps of mouldering hurt,
compost of hopes and perishing blossom
cloying emotions cast off in the dirt.
Maudlin notions erronous and futile
keep coming back to haunt me anew,
flatters my ego with jaded intentions
mystical images developed into
Roses and thorns of love unrequited
filling my head with dead and gone blooms,
pricking my soul with thorns of distraction
flippantly wafting their bitter sweet fumes,
Gold trophy winner
