Black Flowers Bloom

Skies so grey Heart so blue Flowers of the past come to bloom Love has kissed the stems Pain has poisoned the blooms The flowers are black as death itself They speak to no one Living in a veiled garden of darkness Shrouded in mourning Lingering for autumns death to devour them Flowers in waiting Clouds dance in anticipation The coliseum of life has another festival Of the slaughtered flowers Crushed back to dust The stars above Stare down in silence Knowing their fate is sealed In a billion years or so Death shall devour them too

Flowers will die, but even in death they still seem to have a beauty about them.... I loved this dark write, Arthur. Very deep and moving!
