Dark Flower - Photo by Eric
At first I thought Eric's desaturation of one of the last flowers in the garden was too dark but it called me to return to it again and again somehow stuck in my memory. I think it is how the world must look from the point of view of the flower this time of year. Dark out there and cold as well. No wonder the tears.

Dark Flower
I curse this romantic love
This joy and sorrow of knowing you.
I am filled with tears
What good is this?
Our time together is too short
Away from you the pain too much to tell.
Without you my days are gray and meaningless
My only thought how much I miss you
Your love has eclipsed the sun
We are dark flowers now
This occult love is a cursed thing.
