PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am like a flower

without sunshine or moon glow

there is no bloom on this petal today

no rain washes down from the sky

to cleanse my tired wilting leaves

I am a forgotten weed

basking in the stingiest shadow

my hope is but cups of memories

poured down the drain

with the morning's left over coffee

peace woos me with the wealth of future

mists

yet now she shatters at my disbelieving feet

as today is only just another step

leading me there

the precise place I want to be..........
