CD: "Red Tear-Stained Eyes"

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge #7



For the Tan Renga challenge, we are to take this haiku, penned by Kristjaan Panneman, internationally known haikuist and founder of the Carpe Diem website, and add two seven syllable lines:


decomposed flowers
silent witness of a relative
red tear-stained eyes


My inspired lines: 

how the withered rose petals
still keep her memory near
