Those Flowers Poem by Seema Aarella

Those Flowers

Rating: 3.1


They lie there, on the chipped slab
Where no one sniffs its smell
Its beauty does not rouse a talk
Since the dead can't see and tell

Thronging the shrine of sacred stone
Each element in service of him
Endorsed with holiness unknown
They gleam with a hallowed vim

Laid with care, designed to excite
Gracing the boudoir of newly wed
Squashed, squeezed through the night
While a life begins, they are dead.

IT IS TRUE THAT WE EXPRESS OUR INNER FEELINGS WITH PERISHABLE FLOWERS, THOUGH WE HUMANS SURVIVE FOR LONGER HOURS! LET THE BOUQUET OF FEELINGS REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS AND MIND, - GIVING THEM A TOUCH OF THE DIVINE! -Raj Nandy
