A Tragic Stroke

23 8 8
                                    

He threw a ghost against the flowers

My flowerage , I was awake

In front of his cave

He kept ornamenting me.

His passion was the lonely flush

And I tried to hide my blush

the cool corsage colouring

In there stepped a 'Crimson Tinkerer'

'Its that landscape gardener' , I muttered

He took my florist out of my heart

And I never saw him again

The red roses stopped reddening

and the primroses never bathing

I crave the silent splendid cage

Death shall bring sunflowers.
