Flowers Bloom And Fade Away Poem by Vincent Onyeche

Yesterday I read a heave sigh
From two beautiful candy friends
One’s voice deep and romantic
The other soft like elastic
With a pair of golden lips
As sweat as red cherries;

Yesterday they had laughter’s
Inviting like temptation
Reminding the aged of the infantile
Remarks that could tears fill the tile;
‘Rome was built not in a day; let’s give it a try’,
They sigh.

Next day I got a headache
From two bitterly barking dogs
Deep, harsh, light and loud
‘Dad … Mum! ! !
It will never work; let’s call it off’
They mull.

Today I read yet another sigh
Like tomorrow, yesterday, birthdays,
Christmas and New Year’s Eve
Two beautiful candy friends
Holding candles by the cradle

Hope it’s not another part of a pack
For flowers to bloom and fade away
