Petals 
by Asena Lourenco

Single blossoms bloomed into majestic bouquets,

The vibrant pigments clearly the star of the day,

Ribbons danced in the breeze while fingers stay gripped,

Around the rare beauty’s green but narrow hips,

But alas, this odd bunch was no longer clutched,

By a pair of manicured hands that were in no rush,

The sun waved goodnight as it retired to its bed,

Moon returning to the sky to shine its light instead,

Through the change of scenery, something remained,

Wilting petals scattered, battered by the rain,

The one that couldn’t hold them on their special day,

Decided to rejoin her love that so tragically slipped away.
