April 1 – written as part of the National Poetry Month Challenge.
The petals fell from the heavens,
Kissing my closed eyes,
cheeks and lips.
A sign of hope,
and love
beyond dimensions.
I am the flower mad one.
My girl knows it, and
rains them down on me.
‘Here, ma,’
she seems to be saying,
‘Take these kisses from me.’
Soft, soft, softly the petals rain on me.
