In a sunlit garden
I raised beautiful flowers
three were roses
Three beautiful roses
sprouted from hopeless seeds
my special roses
I kept dear in my garden
Among them, on I deeply admired
she was most bright and brilliant
radiating its sunny love in my garden
Too much for a weak soul like mine
I grew withdrawn from its presence
watching after it from a distance
As I moved farther away,
the rose grew sad and cried
as the wind blew us apart
Its tears moisting the soil
Its eyes looking toward the sun
where other gardeners
in greed and envy
snatched her away from me
As for the second rose
its roots were never really in my garden
At the slightest distraction,
other boundaries crossed mine
and now possessed her
With a lesser and emptier garden remaining
I looked to my last rose
Though not as pretty as the others
she had a firm grip in the soil
I drew her closer to me
A cold stone wall built
around the garden now greying
freezing all intimate feeling
She could not bear the chilling wind
and went elsewhere
Now I stand
in my once sunlit garden
an empty spot
I sleep in this
cold and deserted graveyard
which I built in my heart
How is this poem............?
This one is almost great. I love the finish. Maybe, take out some of the narrator and let the roses do the talking? Just my opinion. Still, a star performance. TD
Reply:...a bit ironic...
a deep poem involving seeds..which "scratch the surface", you could say.
I enjoyed the irony and the poem.
