The Flowers Speak of Pain

You came with a daisy
Only to make me daze
A sunflower
Just to blind and deflower
A rose
Just to rise out of love
A lily
Just to lie and leave
And a violet
Just to veneer and violate
O! jasmine
Were you not just mine?
Tulip
Were we two meant not to lip?
Daffodil!
I think daffs make no deals
My sweet lavender
Now I see, love laughs at its founder

Flower, you speak of pain
Flower, you leak to stain
Flower, you seek to gain
Flower, you walk the lane

Flower,lesson well learned
Flower, your lust hot burned

Flower!
My tears, a flowing shower
Flower!
You left me trapped at the tower
Flower!
with no drop of loving  power!

Sinbadd … flowers have so

Sinbadd ... flowers have so many meanings in different cultures and I simply love this one ... it needs a little tidy but I am sure you will do that ... a flower can be a beginning or an end from lover or friend .. its the one thing we give all people man,woman ... child .. and holds so much meaning to so many people natures gift of hellos and goodbyes love and hugs Jayne x x

Thanks Jane

Thanks for comment on this poem.I just wanted to play a devil's advocate to bring out the other side of the flower so that one can be cautious when given one.At times not all that glitters is gold.I don;t know if my poem sounded weird.All the same its been a pleasure to hear your side of the flower story.
