Cold bleak, omen is
The full moon of May.
With no down tick
Of cloud-blanket, a havoc
Reeks, allows drapes
Of crystalline lay
On red-robes of josephs-coat,
Turns black, yellow coleus
And fades,
Blue from ageratums
*
Before dawn, makes stiff
Begonia and heliotrope,
Its clutch uglies yesterdays
Happy fuchsia-tips;
Red and pink,
Now sad and gray;
Burned by the morning suns touch.
*
Delicate flowers fall,
Death hue in shade
I morn them
As they melt,
Into earth-surface graves..

i mourn them too; but know that they, much like a fragile love must go for some reason i can't quite seem to ever fully accept

I mourn them too.
This is delicate, perfect...

Always, Alyssa
