#poem, Flowers For Me, No.5

Flowers for me No.5

Woman, you’ve picked for me flowers,
the most beautiful bouquet that glowed in the sun,
that would charm any soul, any day, any hour,
and you’ve proffered such flowers to one such as me?
Why would I deserve such a treasure,
as this beautiful rose from an oneiric garden,
that glowed in the light of eternal, bright mornings,
and cried in the darkness of black. moonless night?

You know that I do not engage in such fancies
as beautiful flowers while the moon shines its light.
And I hide in the presence of ghostly blue lanterns
that frighten the ladies that walk in the night.
So if it is for me that you’ve picked such a flower,
you’ve killed it in vain while it brightened the day
of those who walk past such a garden each hour.
I do not deserve such such a precious bouquet.

      I’ve written 5 as part of the series. All based on several poems written by Argentinian poet Almafuerte.

    Don’t recall ever being aware of the inspiration for this series, just the series. Thanks for the info.

      I had not mentioned it Pat, but that’s the source of the “inspiration”, more or less… and Happy Friday to you!
