just a walk in a
park
a walk that began with a step
one foot after the other
converse, adidas, nike..
gravel - it melts below
trees, bushes, shrubs..
gray - one colour fits all
floral scents that charged toward
screamed at me mercifully
colours that marked themselves
against my skin tenderly
a sobbing resonated over
with beautiful overtones
a flower attached itself
to my hand
it cries
with a smile
could anyone ask for more?
its petals
they fall
they fade to red
painfully red
like a dove it is calm
once more
it disintegrated
in the wind
the skies have turned chrome
it's time to go home
"come back never"
they dismissively shook
as always
