Freesias
A vivid, robust strong man
Sparkling brown eyes
always accompanied with
his ebullient, thunderous laugh
He loved strolling through the forests
fascinated by all that grows
A special fondness
he felt for fragrant freesias
My fragile perfumed little miracles
he used to call them
Sparkling brown eyes

He loved strolling through the forests
fascinated by all that grows
A special fondness
he felt for fragrant freesias
My fragile perfumed little miracles
he used to call them
His body played dirty tricks on him
Suffering from severe asthma,
he's almost allergic to everything
Swollen feet caused by gout,
he barely can walk on,
a slow shamble
The heart withered languidly
In a vegetative state, he became
as fragile as a freesia

Thanks Michael, Freesias still have a special meaning for me since my Dad passed away ...
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good writing Inge, when I was a young man working on my dads cattle ranch, I had this kind of problem with alfa hay. Its funny how what you love turns on you.
