Empty Flower

by Kuro   Jan 28, 2012


Loved ones scatter like petals from a flower
Like a forgotten memory slowly fades
Petals bleeding from within until there is
Nothing left to bleed. Feeling petals wither...
The memory of a beautiful flower...
Time will make vain empty flowers of us all.

    Not sure how I missed this. When our love ones pass away or just leave our lives for whatever reason, our memories over time do begin to fade and we become that empty flower.

    ^^I could picture as each member of a family going away in their path of life, like a flower after blooming slowly loosing its beauty..like a mother seeing her children leave one by one..this part is so sad..

    ^^Another sad image comes to my mind reading this. Seeing an aged old woman holding a family portrait thus the memory of a beautiful flower. How cleverly this has been written. It makes me want to cry.

    Overall, a short write with deep sentiments that would touch any mother's heart..

    To me it felt like a tragedy that has separated loved ones. Maybe departed. And slowly those memories too fade. With time you get adjusted to pain of losing someone.

    Now this is a very strong line... very deep in meaning.

    A short yet very profound piece

    Very short & simple but it surely had a far more deep meaning than what appeared...just like poetry should be.

    Loved it.

    all the best and take care
