Listen to poem:
Those Faded Flowers
Each flower dried and faded, sitting in their bowl
Still a slight aroma, never eluded from their goal
Pondering on their lifetime of giving us some joy
Un-watered, have now lost their ability to be coy
Yet each petal is still with me, held within its own
With a faded parchment rose as it glory capstone
Dust upon the window sill the curtains still closed
Never a thought given to the flowers left exposed
In a hope that memories like the flowers will fade
Until all the emotions within me have been played
Of that day you left me never to return any more
The faded flowers remain, that I’ve forever sworn
