MY LOVE AND LOTUS FLOWERS
MY LOVE AND LOTUS FLOWERS
I saw a lake filled with
Lotus flowers
In all denominations and colours
My heart jumped in ecstasy
The promise I made to my love
To gift her with the choicest of flowers
I walked into the waters
Waist deep and above
I slowly started plucking them in scores
My never dying love for them
Leading me further into the swamp
The quick sands drawing me deep
All that remains
The lotus flowers still and afloat
Marking my grave
