passion flower

Missing image
Out of my kitchen door
my garden
once beautiful, vibrant

Each selected bloom
grown by nurture

I have watched
from beginning to now
ending life cycle

It looks like death out there
green to black to bare

whithering, freezing
dying

I still watch obsessively
needing to see each breath
needing to see the final breath

To view entirely
To love the imperfect.




Please tell me what you think

    The Awe

    Amazing what we can find when we are in "nurture". The acceptance of life as a whole, but we don't want to miss a thing in the mystery of life or death. Love flowers... This is so nicely written in simplicity as gentle and flowing as an existing petal ...

    because we love asymmetry
    because normal means the same
    because diversity makes the universal

    a perfect poem about the imperfect

    I am unhappy, because you see
    that flower was not gobbled-up by me
    I eat all of the flowers I can,
    all that's grown by woman and man

    Tell me when you plant again
    I'll be there during their life span
    I'll gobble them up when you won't
    see them all go down my throat

    Then you will not see them die
    or ask why they go bye-bye
    I'll do you this favor when
    You try my cat food -- I will then

    Unlike most people, I find dying to be a natural phase. To better clarify myself, love is true when it dies and later resurrect. I love the pace.

    "I still watch obsessively
    needing to see each breath
    needing to see the final breath

    To view entirely
    To love the imperfect."

    I love this part right there.
