The Ghosts Of Flowers

By carlosjackal



The ghosts of flowers
In her eyes
Her love beating hollow
Her humour still wry

Her cigarette withers
The window clears
"True romance is when
Magic is real"

Lips pursed
She exhales the ghosts
And replants the irises
Of the one she loves most

    I love the concept of this. Such a short poem, but not a single word wasted or misplaced. Everything here speaks with purpose and it's lovely. You've created imagery from a world away with this one. :)

  • A former member wrote: "True romance is when magic is real", I love that line. Along with the inevitable pain it brings, love is truly magical, and it's always a treat to feel it. I am really interested in the floral visual you employed here, and you did it so well. Queen Reb:).
