no more flowers, please

 
 
 
when the sounds of  
battle have faded  
and the bodies have  
all been buried  
 
no more flowers,  
please  
 
when love looks like  
a Picasso painting  
and all the stairways  
up only lead down  
 
no more flowers,  
please  
 
when the Holy Grail  
has been found and  
sold on eBay  
 
no more flowers,  
please  
 
when all of Venice  
breathes water and  
the fish ride in  
gondola's  
 
no more flowers,  
please  
 
as ancient Egypt  
was struck dumb  
by the infidelity  
of time  
 
no more flowers,  
please  
 
because my dust
will last longer
than my memory
of you
 
no more  
     flowers,  
        
please
