Flowers And Tears Poem by Tammy Hendrix ~ A Soul in Pieces

Flowers And Tears

Rating: 5.0


I gave flowers once

pretty as momma

placed with loving care in an album, I

was not pretty enough for.

Found them in the trash,

climbed in to be with,

and never gave flowers again.

~

Held a flower in my hand

after the last 'no more'

again pretty red petals trembled

to the rhythm of my shaking will

surrendered to a love of more hope than lived

laying face down on the floor.

My red demanded was little to ask.

Never so lovely as his crimson apologizes

'till the day

I accepted flowers no more.

~

Their message lost throughout the years

pure, perfect, mutated into symbols of sorrow.

A fragrant whimsy of true love expressing

always just…out of reach.

~

Laying here surrounded with love

wrapped safe and warm by you

my eyes open to wild sweetness,

daisies on the nightstand

given, just because.

And it makes me want to cry

staring into bright yellow hearts

always knowing their place in this world.

~

A gift, once tossed and abused,

my flowers have come home

to a heart that always adored,

waiting to be adored

with flowers,

with love,

from you.
