Flower
found a flower growing wild with two petalsspringing forward catching my eye and nose easily.
I tried to water, feed and care for natures creation
but with each loving touch of my words and expressed affection
the flower seemed to grow farther away...
Sometimes on a rainy day or night the flower would sing and cool to
my mental suggestions on how i would love and care on her
but by day break all seem to be forgotten and love felt seem to rotten
while gentle questions that i ask would go unanswered...
She would continue to bloom while i became harmlessly consumed
by her beauty, fragrance and sweet sweet nectar i could not taste...
but could only imagine taste more and more like heaven...
Im taken by her.
and her two petal, beautiful children that easily filled my eyes with
happy tears, to see not just one of natures true wonders but
the off spring as well.... brings me joy.
But the land, the garden in which i spotted this flower
was tainted with other near by haters and visual traps,
days would go by with no word, no room for any verbs
to run freely or be heard by both of us....
I tried to replant myself hoping that Flower would reach out to me
but i fear by changing view i have lost her completely
and in turn lost apart of myself..
Once taken but now possibly discarded...
My gable may have cause me to be broke and without
the nourishment Flower provided daily.
Still i think of her and like that old Dr Sues story
I saved a seed so some day maybe friendship
can be replanted rainy days can seem sweet again.
for now Im in a drought without Flower, Without Flower.
only rain i see is the tears that flow down my eyes and chin
I'm I alone? I feel alone.
But I still take in and inhale...
FLOWER
