Flowers

I do not like flowers in the house because they remind me of funerals Of weddings too; a bride's bouquet closely knit tightly bound with silk ribbons; tighly held. Flowers make me sad and still I like to see them painted on walls on which I can't smell their scent nor touch their petals but only see their colors fade as the light reflected on the wall cover my face and tears roll down like rose petals to the bottom of the Earth when saying the last goodbye flowers with message cards to those who've departed put inside coffins, inside graves and on top of their new and forever homes that is why I do not like flowers inside houses of people who are alive
