Thread: There

In a corner of a secret garden
where the viscaria and honeysuckle
once bathed their beautiful, delicate flowers
in the summer breeze,

there,
beyond the fading red roses and delicate blue forget-me-nots
between the white anemone and primroses
hidden by agapanthus
but marked by perennial marigold,

there,
in the dark, dank soil
irrigated with tears,
in a lonely, shallow grave
you may find me,
if you wish,
just where you buried me.

Nice! The beginning was lovely, a flower garden, colorful and bright. The ending was delicious, dark, dank soil and shallow grave...loved it!

Thanks. the flowers all have meanings.

Oh yes, they do. Dear God, I love your stuff.

Edit: This is too cheap of a reply, am embroiled in real life stuff, but I'll return when I can. Your user name is so apt, David, all that transpired to inspire such poetry certainly hasn't got you unraveled, at least anymore. God Bless!

Wow. I was definitely impressed by this work. I'd be interested to know what all of the flowers symbolize. This poem is very thought provoking, I loved the line "Irrigated with tears". Very good.
