Crushed

Petals falling 
from unseeded bud
opened by a midnight sun
sparkling it to love 
then vanishing 
to return on its course
in candle lights
stolen star to star
unmindful
of ice pellets 
tearing at the calyx
teardrops 
frozen in the throat
lacerating heart 
throbbing to harden 
like winter in silence.
February weeps
meet a new face
lights start dancing 
in the eyes 
glances caressing 
two hearts
whispering to each other 
sweetness
crushed grape 
turns to wine
tinting two goblets 
crimson!
Eternal seed 
buds new life 
flame of God's
everlasting light
running through veins 
of two hearts 
saying to each other: Yes 
I love you

I enjoyed reading your well crafted and beautifully flowing free verse Frances. It's clever in its composition, metaphors and imagery - and deserving of so many more complimentary comments other than mine. Cheers - Gary
