In this desert land
Lake of love or a mirage
What are we, who knows
Wilted minds can be deceived
Our hearts will tell if it's real

The drooping lilacs
resemble the wilted poppies
that wait for rainfall...
their spring glory has vanished!

a garden grows
in the soil where love once bloomed
a pretty flower
dies without love's rain, and now
love is but a wilted rose

of dismal dusk on tree crown
wilted willow weeps…
melts away after sad night
sparkling new dawn embraces

A wild flower child
Was so careless for short while.
Then so suddenly
Something broke her lovely smile;
Withered through a fate so vile.

May your pain erode you alike the touch of stagnation upon a rotting corpse- akin to a wilted rose stained with the stench of fear & longing.

When I married you
It was for better or worse
Only to struggle
Why do I feel as if I've wilted
Only a shadow of myself
Time to make a break

Black egret
You had come to take
The half-flower child
Though your plans wilted
Like the petals of her skirt
From a single stroke of her hand

Sweet choir of nature,
from the garden emanates,
the song of the dead.
Something underneath,
the wilted petals of red,
— a perfect surprise.

devotion's daughter
bent low time beat woman of
wasted infatuation
strutting carefree on her cane
an elegant wilted rose

Amour in glamour,
when we were close !
Bell of adieu rang :
My feelings froze.
Pallid petals dropped.
in wilted rose.

Life is
Death is knots
A box of thoughts
Innate
Is not that above?
A twisted thing to ponder
Staring at
A wilted rose by the casket out yonder

tossed back and forth
a wilted flower floated
in whirling currents
life moves on rudderless
to be cast in unknown shores

The flowers wilted
no sunshine on the meadow
no light hit the ground
barely raindrops on the plain
not able to revive them.

Bouquets overflowed
marriage smelling like a rose
years came and they went
fragrant flower lost its scent
like wilted rose in repose.

Once I was an unplanted rose
Waiting to be watered
So I would grow into a life of beauty
Now I am
A wilted flower
Falling head first
Into the ground

deadhead any grudges
slough off wilted feelings
instill a will to replenish
what was lost with more
abhor stagnation
regain greater growth

the rose bows its head
its song of beauty too brief,
just one final blush
before autumn sets the sun
and then, it withers away....

I can no longer zip up my kilt.
Is there something to eat without guilt?
They say salad's a must
but I think it's a bust
because gravy makes the Lettus wilt!

today was so hot
and my flowers are wilted now
I rush quickly for the watering can
pouring cool water over each
and like magic they raise their heads
