He is a dying flower – with nothing else to lose.
His deep ocean-blue eyes tell me his story –
Of how he lost the people he loves.
They were like roses, strong and beautiful…
killed by the raging fire.
Now his story ends –
Before the last petal drops from his flower of life,
Wilts away – soon to die –
I take him into my arms and hold him close –
So close his heartbeats in my ear –
Not letting go until his last petal falls.
