Opinii

The lonely bouquet stood
On the bedside
In an empty room
One leaf already fallen.

It was supposed to be
A nice one
Ordered on line
Flowers carefully selected
Especially for this occasion
Oriental lilies,
White,
Five of them.
Hanging on their delicate smell
Was a mini teddy bear
Meant to bring confort
And light smiles
Light brown was its color.
There was also a note
Remained unopen.
Everyone knew
where it came from.
All delivered
To the recepient's father

So there it sat, the bouquet.
Its smell fading
Day by day.
Its white turning ugly
In the void around
Its leaves falling dead
One after another.
The teddy bear fell too.

They threw the flowers in the garbage
And gave the toy
To the cat
To play with it
But the cat didn't smile.
Didn't say anything.
The room remained empty.
