In Memory of My Moon Flower

In winter they cried ice cold tears,
each one shattered like glass
as they flowed steady and fast.

Blue I feel,
as I lost the warmth of the sun
upon your chilling kiss.

My white gown grew its roots
upon your barren ground,
it bloomed on the night
when the moon shined
full and bright.

I your moon flower beamed
bursting forth,
as my petals fly free,
they die before they freeze;
hitting the chilled earth
with a dreadful thud.

Memory of you;
My ghost flowers grew
upon the memories we grow
and cultivate;
as the stars bare witness
to our chaotic dance.

This was written after 
I left my mother's deathbed,
she was my moon flower. 
Her memory will forever be engraved 
upon my heart and in my tears.

Hello Amanda, thank you for commenting on my poem, that's how I found you. Normally I welcome all new poets, but I was away for a little while. This is a beautiful poem, so warm, and loving. It must have been very painful to write, and difficult to post. I wish you a belated welcome to PoetrySoup.
