Petals Of Love Poem by david penny

When did the petals fall off our love?
When did the honeybees flee?
When did the sweet scent sour?
When did you stop loving me?

What made the eternal sun rain?
What made those lush rivers run dry?
What made fresh fruit spoil again?
What made you say “goodbye”?

Why don’t those stars we gazed at,
On that frosty cold night,
Shine once more as they reflect,
The warmth that glowed in your eyes,

Where did those smiles across your face,
Where did they run to and hide?
Where did those bliss filled days,
Go to now that your heart that died?
