In a state of disrepair...

Dying petal just once cast from rose
then in through open window flows
when in dead air the current slows
this outcast petal settles low.

The room all silent except for clock
It ticks it's tock as seconds drop
from Time's heart of stone and rock
to fall like rain as petal rots.

Left in soft repose with no retort
these empty words cannot distort
that all things shall come to nought
which is all this dying petal sought.

Some sigh from open window flows.




Hangovers are nature's way of preparing us for liver failure.

Triskaidekaphobia - "some sigh from open window flows", this has so much meaning I can't describe it. Enjoyed reading your writing...

"all this dying petal sought" - - phew, thank God, at the long last you've been sought, and now I'm able to enjoy reading your new two poems which feel so close to me, just like all the others...

Thank you for composing your poems. Can't wait to see & read more, much more!!! Oh, can I be hopeful & optimistic a little bit in spite of all the hopeless & desparing reality?
