A Faded Flower Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Faded Flower

Rating: 5.0


Tomorrow the sun may be more hostile,
Tonight the moon shows its last phase,
Stars will close this flower's profile,
Time had sprung it and time will erase,

In between today and the deadly tomorrow
There's a starry night, only one is left,
Come for the last time to kill the sorrow,
Somewhere, anywhere for the last theft,

My pink color has become maroon,
A little of aroma still preserved,
My dried petals will scatter soon,
Here I am to be last time loved,

Before I fall and the wind scatters me,
Pluck me and place me in your love book,
Read, for the last time it may be,
Feel me, a little colorful I still look.

Time had sprung it and time will erase, Time is a double edged weapon it gives birth through the earth and when it feels like it without remorse it buries Arose you depict to living memory let ts fragrance spread merrily The world will remember thee as the rose is preserved in your time's book in your everlasting memory may both live
