A Flower Is Not Forever Poem by Guinevere Eveleigh

A flower cannot stay forever
It shrivels and dies like human being does in life
like watching the moon being eaten alive by the funereal clouds at night
It bows its head with like a humpback
Its leaves droop like tears on a cheek
The thorns that prick become pitiful and never nip
To watch a flower past away is not a humdrum sight
Its like watching any other human traverse away from this life to the next
But one thing is sure
A rose with long dead petals always leaves behind a spectacular scent
Just like how how a treasured loved one always behind a sparkling rainbow spectrum of a thousand memories that will always be alive for a million years
