Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

Life Is Flowers

I saw the flowers you left in my flower vessels 
A pink one and a white one 
It was a nice surprise 
I love the necklaces you got for me
You said, from your collection of necklaces 
A pearl one and a silver one
You have been a great addition to my life
All your little friends that you introduce me too
Are like flowers, beautiful, adorable and innocent 

But another friend says maisha ni maua (life is flowers)
It blossoms today but it withers tomorrow
Marriage signatures sometimes on the same line with divorce signatures 
Divorce sure sucks
But seeing another friend all sunshine happy 
Happy more than she has for years
She says, she feels like a load has been taken off her back
Divorce is her road to happiness, the one thing she was deprived in her marriage
Even in divorce, there are flowers to pick

Jan Allison July 18, 2015 at 4:55 PM I am sure there are many people who can relate to this and are happier when the marriage ended than they were previously - I guess it proves life isn't a bunch of roses - lovely write Njeri:-) hugs Jan xx7 Njeri Hunjeri September 15, 2015 at 10:51 AM Thats true.
