Flowers of My Soul

The flowers of my soul

once blooming

only wilt and thirst

for something to quench

their needs.

As petals fall

daily to the abyss,

the longing passes

as acceptance of dread

remains in their

final days.

The aroma of lavender,

rose, and lilac

no longer waft through

their chambers;

on occasion you may

catch a quick whiff

of dried potpourri,

but even that

fades quickly.

Nothing, but the soil

remains as a

reminder of what

once lived.
