petals

Watch the petals float

gently, rocking back and forth

like you and me, one extreme

to another, but we didn't fall

crashing, no our hopes and dreams

cherished, as petals held inbetween

the limitless blue skies with

vanilla swirls, where the sun hides

and the tormented earth, as it

grows bitter and old, like a broken

widow, who can't let go...

Yea like those petals, we keep floating

on until time runs out, when your

wish is no longer mine, let the

petals whisper secrets to the cold earth,

whispers of sandy rays and warm

winter nights, whispers of

soft kisses and your beautiful eyes,

whispers of a love, that blossomed

and will be forever, in my heart shaped

box, no photographs only memories.
