Emotion Petals

In nature’s embrace, sorrows find a home
With the gentle breeze, my emotions roam,
I picked roses for you by fingers oblivious to thorns
Kept between pages of the book and mourned.
A field of sunflowers is a smile curving on your lips,
Unfortunately, the smile made an apocalypse.
Bluebells are melancholic and represent sadness,
Making my tears dry, numb and into madness
Red poppies' fiery blooms,
Unleashes thunder within, a cyclone’s gloom
For even in sadness, as the flowers may wane,
Hope they bloom with the gentlest of rain.
