Falling for Flowers

Falling and falling and falling for flowers

Falling and falling and falling for hours

Church bells chime

Funeral bells toll

Life and death in repetitive rhythm 

Nature’s symphony

She caught the flowers, you see

She caught the flowers

And now we last for hours

Hours and hours and hours

Flowers and flowers and flowers

Too many flowers and hours to count

Sunrises and sunsets slip away

The birth and death of each day

Shines like sunlight

Feels like moonlight

Smells like lovelight

Midday fancies 

Midnight frenzies

Tearing the petals off

One by one

Lies torn away

Petal by petal

Until only truth remains

Loves me or loves me not

Flowers blush nakedly

Under a watchful eye

They tremble in the wind

As eyes feast on them

Withering them down

Until there is nothing left

And yet in her fevered bloom

Time loses all meaning

These dreams will never end

Manic and mindful

We set sail for eternity

On the winds of the moment

Like lovers caught in amber

Locked in eternal embrace

Between life and death 

And love and hate
