as petals fall






I shroud myself in sables ~
learning how to die

and I can see the flowers
from beneath my veil of grief
growing between my rotting body
and the stone wall that blocks out my sun...


and he'll tend to his garden
unaware of my breath
bending the stem
and stirring the soil.

there's still life among the daisies
yet he has forgotten to love me...


I can't grow in shades of silence.

    The beauty of your poetry never
    halts.. you have talent many
    would only be able to wish
    to grasp.

    This piece was so visually
    soft & beautiful-- just
    dripping emotion & depth.

    Best wishes in the contest L
