Flowers
May 20, 2014
how lovely your garden grows in the midst of spring
pale flowers, sullen leaves;
drowning in grieving molecules;
aroused by the radiant darkness that surrounds each flower
and kisses each wilting petal.
and how the earth cherishes her throbbing heart;
she grows from bleeding roots
buried deep, deep below the blanket of grass.
you are not one to recognize beauty
or the somber elegance that these flowers radiate;
but as long as this garden is yours,
i will kiss each lovely thorn.
