Poems

Poem: One single pink flower

As you died in my arms

you told me:

“We are Knights at the round table

I must die now

and you must live on”

Thirty-three years we were together

So many precious memories

My God where did the time go?

You have been gone now three years

It feels like a lifetime now

A nightmare that you would die so young

We were robbed!

and so many gone now who died too young, too

Leaving the two of us behind

to find hope in the grave yard and ashes

I mastered living alone

I do not like it

It is wrong

Your plant bloomed

One single pink flower tonight

A miracle bloomed my love!

to show that you are near by still

a kiss from the grave

Please my love

Who watches over me now

if you have any say at all

please end this brutal lonliness

please tell him it is okay

to love me

and that life is too short

to waste time

like this

You said to be careful what I wish for

I wish for

this one last

kiss
