Fallen flower

Yesterday

just yesterday

It got on

in all efflorescence

freshness of hues

majestic shades

glorified radiance

sweet fragrance

of a full bloom

blinding onlookers

in beauty,  that spoke

many languages

Alas
its fallen today

in the dust

amidst rotting foliage

desolate
discarded

a shrinking piece

blazing grey
beauty dwindling

to be trampled

to nothingness

life ebbing away

only silence speaks

sans words

the lost colour of life

Ah
nothing holds till eternity

save the memories

and memories are intoxicating at times
