hope that can no longer stay afloat
in worlds of worry and desire
sinking into the manmade fire.

One petal lost and not one gained
in these strange worlds without much change
where people rush to be the best
and disappointed in the rest.

Other flowers bloom and grow. Of
their demise they do not know and
care they not how petals spent when
it comes time to pay the rent.

In the end all things are dust, the
fires ash that once were lust. Petals
soft are soft no more, remnants of
hopes no longer hoped anymore. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 191 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Jessica_Saini [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )
