All Your Beautiful Things

Now you are gone
and all your flowers have faded
what shall I do with your rose
which still yet lives, but jaded,

what shall I do with your flowers
which bled their lives away,
and every blade of grass
rain tipped this summer day.

Now you are gone
and I am in the field standing by a lonely sycamore
I’ll think of you, and you will come to me
my own true love, ma chérie d'amour.

Very good Thomas! I especially liked that last line. I wouldn't haven't thought of using a foreign language to fill in. Good job.

Another marvelous poem here! Are you new to the website. I've got to say wow! You write straight from the heart. This poem nearly brought a tear to my eye. I love the picture you have given - the flowers and the field really bring out the emotion of the overall piece. Outstanding work! Always, Laura
