Flowers of Excretion

Time sinks deep into mind,
moon-nourished garden,
    holy putrescence
    dark intimations
    of their one essence,
Chime brinks sleep    a find
pestilential seethings,
Old is brain - Sold this as insane
and dream so to reap,
    unhallowed innocence,
    metempsychosis,
    snowy-plumed presence,
Rhymes begot of aged dead dove
whose wings are not angels' things.

      Low and down now,
      area of darkness
      strange ecstasies,
      arcana primalness,
        then brought forth
      by farmer's plow
        So to feed
        pharmacopeia
      a seed from lying dead
      to keep the dying fed.

Peace to go as resting long
    feeling as if you did belong,
For time sinks deep
and if saved from the plower
    dreams will deny the sleep
with roots from you there comes a flower

Resting blind and thinking they are
within the bowels the garden bower.

Author notes

Image above I have always loved
and the art school of Symbolism;
Poem is of perhaps of her state
here and its origins,
SOMAnticism.

    Nightmares of pleasure yet remorseful in the end. Two who desire find death instead. To love someone to death is the ultimate idea, yet receiving the soul of another, leaves the troll on top but still ugly as ever. To plant a garden such as this breeds only food of evil that grows within the soul of primal instincts yet kills the mortal soul. The poem and image is much more than I can really digest. lol Creepy and kind of sticks within this poet's thoughts. A true nightmare. Good luck in this contest.
