Old Blooms Will Slowly Fade - For Contest

Old Blooms Will Slowly Fade Old blooms will slowly fade but never die at the edge of darkness’s waning light for love will warm them always with its sigh deny the stinging truth of flowered lie caress them in memoried folds of night. Old blooms will slowly fade but never die resurrected in hearts that still defy sad coldness of the moment they felt blight for love will warm them always with its sigh exhale the passioned tears lovers can’t cry breathe into them the thrill of scents first sight. Old blooms will slowly fade but never die hearts echoing prayers without reply bask in love’s distant dreams of wingless flight for love will warm them always with its sigh color again loves cheeks in blushing shy slow trace once more the face of blooms delight. Old blooms will slowly fade but never die for love will warm them always with its sigh. 6/9/2016 submitted to – Villanelle Me A Flower or Flowers – Poetry contest sponsor – Broken Wings Syllable count checked by Howmanysyllables.com
