Notes About The Poem

Like Decaying Bouquets

                     My soul is bleeding, bleeding,
      as a thousand sharp daggers stab me;
  for the headstones are green mossed,
and I hold to my heart tattered memories; 
                    like decaying bouquets,
        and will 'till my last gasp !
