Bouquet

.

Not entirely certain where this story came from nor where it is going.

Bouquet      -     29 May 21 

Between the torn pages

Of the book 

Fragments of an ancient dream

Torn petals from a sad bouquet 

Scent turned rancid

And stale 

The dream has died

.

I do not know. 

. 

Petals

.

A book falls apart in beauty. 

. 

Petals    -    22 May 20 

Pages from a floral book 

Scattered across the ground 

Soft scented velvet tome 

Chase the wind-blown script 

To read the words 

Soon to be lost 

Petals take the wind 

To travel the world 

. 

Read the beauty of the words.

Pressed Memories

.
Keeping the memories safe.

.
Pressed Memories    -   31 Oct 18

Pressed between the pages
Of an unread book
Memories dreams wishes
Thoughts of Love from the past
Resting for now
Hoping to bring them back to life
As time passes
The book placed under the pillow
To feed the dreams through
The night before going to sleep
To grow to fruition

.
Safe and watered with tears.

.

Memory Flower

A little poem lost in the tradition of keeping pressed flowers in books.





Memory Flower  -  02 Nov 16

Between pages

Of an ancient book

Pressed

Memories captured

Flowers gathered

From days long gone

Never did this myself but I did keep memories between the pages of a diary I used to write.
