Totally Optional Evocation

Spring’s Dream

Flowers rained from the sky.
Sunlight waterfall of daisies.
Sweet kiss of rose petals
my crimson shroud.
Stricken from confession,
I lay prostrate, wasted.
And honeyed-dew
coated the iris as it fell.
Beauty is no elixir for the soul.
I weep. There are tears of lilies
mourning your departure,
fair company, indeed,
in your absence.

I made the deadline, anyway. You can go to Totally Optional Prompts to read more evocative poems.
