Spread out bright red silky fragile petals <br />Folded together tightly like sheet metals <br />Become masses of delicate flesh and blood <br />Heat is rushing through veins like during a flood <br />When water is dripping from the petals to the stem <br />It turns to a silver teardropp like a precious gem <br /> <br />Teardrops collected from a beautiful flower <br />I let run over your shoulders during night hour <br />It will form a river of sorrow down your back <br />Because there is nothing left to seal the pact <br />In the morning you will forget what took place <br />And all evidence of our love will be erased <br /> <br />Evidence is the one thing we can't afford to keep <br />Because what happens here stays here and sleeps <br />Another time we can awaken our passions again <br />But for now feelings and words we have to detain <br />I watch while the taxi is leaving really slow <br />Passing the meadow where the poppies grow <br /> <br />© 2011<br /><br />Kristina Louisa Carr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poppies-18/
