For the Children

Written for Tovli's 10 word contest

A vase of white roses and yellow daisies

Breathing life -- drinking water -- later

Lay withered like the dead in a coffin

 

Looking at their remains

Project to me the meaning of our love

Your act of loving me, an illusion

Two people married happily forever

To survive, must live outside the box
