concrete flower

Missing image
between the cracks in the sidewalk
a single flower grows
so insulting to the concrete
it's defiant beauty shows

that in love's finest hour
it just can not be denied
and it will find the power
grow through the cracks of pride

this single flower growing
in the face of a concrete world
a love, that's so worth knowing
it makes concrete come unfurled

just like a concrete flower
we've the strength to break through
it's time, let love devour
the pridewalk inside you

    Just when I thought it couldn't get better then your poem Murdered by, I read this amazing and truly inspiring poem. There are many reasons why this poem sings to my soul- After reading Murdered by, it is nice to know that within it all flowers still bloom.

      wow thanks

      for the reads ... when im done skyping .. lol ill read more of your wonderful stuff

  • This is simply one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. It is an outstandingly amazing piece of work! How I did not find your poetry earlier I am amazed! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And this beholder absolutely loves your work! Keep it up!

  • oh, i dig this sappy little treasure...love the flow...made me feel defiantly happy after reading this...there is joy in this...tactile joy...beautiful work...you make me smile

  • wow, this is different for you is it not?

    I like it, its sort of summery, and tender, and well, just nice and warm and happyfull.

    If your interested in technicallity, it has a really nice tight rhythm too, so it clog dances of the tongue, mmm maybe an irish dance, cos its a bit too pretty for a clog dance

    Tis a very fine write, lol, as all yours are, but today of all days this hits the spot

    Thankyou
    T
