Rejected Flowers!

My heart is woven of
The burdens of broken dreams
And the pain of separation!
For years the sun failed to
Penetrate its unwelcoming windows!!
Its land has turned barren!
I thought its bleakness was infinite!
But your presence made
It again suckle the rays of the sun
And spring flowers bloomed
Once more!! 
Flowers which wore the color of the sun!
and bore the scent of hope!
I gathered them with trembling hands
And offered them to you!
But their swelling aura alarmed your discreet soul!
And they were returned to me
untouched!
Though I watered them with the rain
Of my eyes!
,the wind of sadness poisoned
Its droplets…
and my flowers withered!
