Pressing flowers
into books
I
will never
re open
or
remember,

They have died
and so have
I
bound by spine
delicate petals
holding,

The weight
of the world
losing dimensions
crushed
we are
so alike,

Pressing flowers
I never want
to remember
nor forget
.
.
.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

Tres inspiring.

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"

Gemma, I press flowers in books sometimes, too.
I really liked this.

Indeed..
Flowers given to you..
by someone you once thought
was special..

they still are
undoubtedly..

but by never reopening them..
we'll never remember..or forget.

you're so right.

Fascinating! I don't press flowers, I just photograph them and keep the pictures in books!

Hugs, Marti

falling petals
in and out of love
let someone else find them
in the winds path, next time
