Once I held the perfect flower <br />Here within my gentle hands <br />Love blossomed so beautifully <br />Only to die before the morning sun <br /> <br />Nurtured by the tenderness <br />I have within my hearts core <br />Rainbow colours appeared <br />To flow over each velvet petal <br /> <br />Suddenly that river ceased <br />Was taken from my soul <br />All that's left is shattered <br />Pieces upon the floor now <br /> <br />Grasp well the things you need <br />Leave all else outside the door<br /><br />Fiona Davidson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/perfect-flower-2/
