~~*~~ Carnations...& Secret Incantations ~~*~~



I have been given carnations today
I wonder what do they say?

Do they speak of emotions
hidden between the tiny folds
of their hearts?
Do their petals tell
of a road and how it was taken from the start?

Would those emotions last
to the last?
Or would they go away
by the end of the day?

A short story
Unfinished
Shorter than the red small petals
Of a carnation
Yet longer in misery
Than the long leaves
Ever standing
In anticipation

A red carnation
And a yellow one
Left on my desk…..
Unnamed
Untitled
A silent token
In a calm day

Do they tell
Of things that might
Sweep away?
Of a future unknown
Untouched like the sunray?

They say that red carnation
Speak
Of the suffering of the heart
In its awesome peak
A suffering more than
We deem to know
Does this red carnation say so??

And what does the yellow one say?
That I want you here
Near
Alway?
That my jealous heart
Wants you to forever stay?
Forever walk my way?

Carnations
Secret incantations
Unnamed ….
Untitled....
Messages hidden between
The folds of the softly wrinkled petals
Leaving the unspoken message to me
Smaller?
Or bigger than the sea??
That’s the enchanting mystery…

Oh how absolutely beautiful. So much can be said with flowers and for you they leave you with questions of their meaning. This poem is one that shows the pondering of your heart. Stunning. I love it. You deserve to get flowers, my friend.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Perhaps the question is:  "What do you hear?" ...or maybe:  "What do you want to hear?"

Melody, if I could, I would have sent them, as you so deserve much love and sweetness. This is a lovely poem, and thank you again for all your support lately, too.

My dear friend....
"What do I hear?" ...perhaps the roaring of the sea....
perhaps sounds within me..  

"What do I want to hear?"
I'm not sure......perhaps reflections of me  

Thank you
