Red Poppies in My Backyard!

I wrote this poem last spring. I didn't have a blog then so i am posting it here now. Hope you like it!

Happy moments often turn sad

Love gives way to hurt

The scars of endless sorrow, never bygone

And each time it hurts,

I look at the red poppies in my backyard.

The lovely red of spring ahead

The sweet melody of bees on flowerbed

The flutter of wings,

The chirps of the birds

They brighten the day

Dimming the pain,

Brimming my eyes.

Red poppies

They make me smile

My heart skips a beat

I take a deep sigh

The red poppies that hold my sight.

Lovely blossoms

They promise eternal love

Some dare to kill

Some promise sweet slumber.

The breeze blowing by

Heavy on Earth's eye

My hair flowing

And i dream to fly.

I travel the world

And when iam awake

A tear rolls past

But for their sake

I straighten myself

I loosen the strain

I give them one last look

These poppies made my day!
