Those Flowers

Those flowers died
long before The Phoenix took flight
now dust covered
drier than my lips
a strange gift
- those flowers
for a man
but it made us laugh
I loved our humour
even if your body turned cold
- your mind no longer my world
while the ambers grew warm
I still loved out humour
Those flowers remain
falling to pieces just as easily
- as my confidence
racing recklessly skyward
to escape the nagging voice
you never heard
- but felt
when I collapsed into your lap
I loved our comfort
for a tiny moment
- we had it all
seemingly endless summer
but winter came…
Things were burnt
The Phoenix took flight
those flowers died
those flowers remain.
