Here, my gift
Wreath of black poppies
Adorn your stone head.
A renegade cloud steals
The Sun.
Shiver, trees whisper
Conspiratorially.
We were of no significance
On Earth, ridden with noise
People shouting over another
Craving to be heard.
I sat down, outcast
You drifted on a raucous gale,
Tripped cut your heart
On the knife-edge of my
Tear.
Collapse on bed of permanence
Dry, caked grass.

I lay for last and only time
Under head of black flowers.

** Tell me if you 'understand' this... or what you think this is about, thanks.

Lani.

Wow, that is some of the best word usage and usage of metaphores I've ever seen, seriously!!  The only little bit of constructive critisism I can give is that through the beauty and finesse of the peom, the message is kind of cloudy.  The best I could piece I can figure is something to the effect of someone falling in love with you only to have their heart broken because they never saw the real you.  I probably way off, but that's my my little break now ended up.  You do do I very nice job, though...keep it up.
