The Winter's Flower

This is a Story based poem about a flower and a human who falls in love with the flower, this poem tries to describe the feelings of sacrificing love in literal terms. from both sides.

By the warmth of the fire in the fireplace

so cozy in the blankets i lie

seeing the snow fall gently

and the wild howling outside

creaking beams overhead

the crackling of the flames

the hot chocolate i held

that warmed me from within

i gazed through the glass

something caught my eye

between drifts of snow

a flower i espied

so fragile yet proud

alone it stood

boldly facing the storm

as it thought it could

gout out of the covers

and went to see

the boldest of the flowers

staring back at me

i asked the lonely flower

if it wanted company

the flower said angrily

it needed no help from me

many winters i have faced

many winters i have seen

i can stand here

for as long as i need

such a heartless reply it gave

i stood speechless with a frown

then i told the flower

i would shield it from the storm

i sat among the drifts of snow

ignoring the heated cries

that the flower loosed

i said i didn't mind

despite the numbing cold

i gave the flower my warmth

all i could give and more

but the flower still ignored

i shielded it with my life

and my vitality ebbed away

i fought my doubts

i decided to stay

and as i closed my eyes

my breathing eased

i heard it's song

to send me to sleep

the heart of gold

will forever bleed

in it's crimson wash

i live and breed

such hearts are rare

my burden to bear

to devour them all

and make them fall

 

why did you come?

why did you care?

why did you , your essence?

with me share?

i tried to answer

i tried to say

what my heart had felt

what my soul had said

but i was exhausted

spent and frayed

i just closed my eyes

and Drifted Away....
