You Were A Flower Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

You Were A Flower

Rating: 5.0


One time you were a flower
Fresh and new and beautiful
You had bees and butterflies hovering
Around you; sucking nectar and swinging
Sitting on your silky petals
You were loved by the world
And praised by the young lovers;

Now you have faded;
Your glamour is gone and you
Keep staring vacantly at the passers by
No one cares to come to you
To appreciate your beauty that is gone;
You are empty inside and outside
Bees, butterflies and birds shun you
The earth below waits for you to fall
To take you inside its rotund belly

A queen and a flower both come to dust one day. Nice observation on life

Love is more than beauty whatever the age. You still love them when they're frail and ill.
