Poems
May 2016
Rose
I saw a flower seed
planted into the ground
and grew by starlight
to be forever dirt bound.
I saw a flower's first petals
So unspoilt, so pure
As I witness the scent
sprayed to allure.
I watched a red flower
go through photosynthesis
growing warm with sunlight
seemed rather intimate.
I saw a flower bloom
amongst a lamp post
under the light of stars
that lit up the coast.
I saw a flower in the night
its petals spread across
the seas coating the waters
with a little bit of gloss.
I saw a flower, so beautiful
so I uprooted the flower
hoping that it lived beyond
the confines of an hour.
I saw a flower, uprooted
from the soil
yet never once did wilt
or ever spoil.
I saw a flower so beautiful,
a rose that casted a shadow
in my heart, forever giving
me shelter and making me glow.
I saw a beautiful flower
a scarlet coloured rose
that could have made me
abandon poetry & prose.
...For I could not call myself
a poet, knowing that I could
never describe the perfection,
of the rose as a poet should.
...For I could not call myself
a poet, knowing that I haven't
learnt the words to describe the
rose that showed compassion.
