Funeral Flowers

Dewy petals
flavor skin with
hints of lilac.

Naked-

Reborn from shadows
of a shallow grave,
these flowers decayed
slowly,

seeping six feet below.

I choked upon a flowerbed
years ago, before a bitter chill
of autumn condemned me to death.

October-
You alone stripped me of all that I have ever loved.

I taste spring within this coma sleep;

My eyes are turning a lavender shade,
mixing within a sunset of new beginnings.

You will remember me,
as I bid you farewell and goodbye.

Skipping though your decayed,
soulless leaves-

Ill leave a flower upon your tomb.

So you may be reborn,
as I did years ago....
