Drag my eyes and dig my hope
Arrange the corpses and lit the flowers
Ruin our poetry and forsaken divine journeys

Lavish our time in varnished vanity
Incinerate the path you walk upon,

though nothing could come to any light—
Go find the hearts you had murdered.

The wind blew your tongue; colder your tears
Your dancing fingers and palms still talk of sun
And soon saturated your old ash driven hair
Into raindrop roots of forestry rhymes

Some of the rhymes were of your smile
Colored only by a single weary verse
To unravel the waves of your 7th ghost
which was
Just a picture for us to caress—

In the absence of sly soul and slacking slashes.

The pictures shall never fit the wooden frame
Carved by the sharp words you wrote by the heat
And the sympathetic sword you caress before the pages
Of travelling letters never yet to come.

And so I ask,

How long have my eyes been fasting
Drifted away from your grim outline
Questions I ask, is this an omen or mere silence
To welcome the storm I have yet encountered?

Ah,

Rustling wind shall tell no more
You would never have your hair and shadows back
Agonizing the pain we never had
None will have our verses and our wandering

Oh,

And I should learn to forget
Learn to regret
Learn to heed
Learn to bleed.
All I am is a flower
A tiny little flower
A flower with desires
But a flower none the less

All I am is a flower
A measly little flower
A flower with no power
A flower that's oppressed

All I am is a flower
A puny little flower
A flower with no mother
She was taken like the rest

All I am is a flower
A feeble little flower
A flower with a father
But he acts more like a pest

All I am is a flower
A weak little flower
This flower will not cower
When they come to take the best

All I am is a flower
A really little flower
This flower must show power
The strength of the forest

All I am is a flower
A very little flower
Bravest flower of the our
This flower tried her best

All I am is a flower
A really tiny flower
A little flower with no face
But with much talent and much grace
I can only the purple walls of my little vase...

...And she was but a flower
Rather tiny for a flower
She thought she had no power
But she was stronger than a tower
She never met her mother
I was meant to be her father
She swore she would not cower
And now we can not find her
I know where she lies but never shall I say it ever
Maybe she'll send a letter
Telling us she lives better
Here I lay our family crest
In honour of Rossetta
Where ever she is may she be at rest
For so is the life of a flower
In case you missed it she died cause you wanted your house to be a little prettier but I guess that's the circle of life but try to honour her by planting more

błoto...
              
mud...
        ł = w....
                    sometimes...
a diacritical addition
to a letter, doesn't mean
prolonging* it...
  e.g. ó... which could be
adequately added to the word:
mud,
                    błóto...
and it wouldn't read as:
bwooto(h)...
     god must be a juggling
artist... he keeps juggling,
and juggling... and then
catching vowels on the side
with his secondary H...
  in terms of writing language...
**** me... the jews are genius...
they're great at translating
  hieroglyphs...
                the discovery of
  the tetragrammaton
                            is worth as much
as the finding of the rosseta stone.
i still don't understand why
they have two vowels, as consonants,
and have the remaining
vowels as diacritical marks...
    which would make
yhwh, to be written as: אי‎העוה‎
