Blossoms and Bubbles

BLOSSOMS and BUBBLES As petals fall from blossoms long denied the beauty of their warrantless false pride abated as love’s bubbles slow expired drowning in a love once so desired. Once tickling bubbles had ignited flame to blossom in the heart unknown to shame caressed by mindless passions sole resolve to tend the flame of heart fully involved. The blossoms could not stand the lurid heat thus did the petals fall at lovers feet last bubbles lay atop the warm champagne first tears the many lies that lovers feign. The scent of blossoms long expired flame eased by the numbing bubbles empty shame. 3/25/2015 submitted to – BLOSSOMS AND BUBBLES – Poetry Contest sponsor – Olive Eloisa Guillermo
