Roses and Narcissus and the Sky and the Ocean

the sky's lips are the softest when the red rose's and narcissus' petals bloom but when the heart beats it only steps closer to finishing so why is the rose red when its passion only leaves it to wilt? the same reason the yellow narcissus looks down suppose it knows what the future holds the rose simply tries to ignore that to come but having passion for now is not its destiny in the end, the rose will turn dark and unkind while the narcissus will be too burdened he will not threaten life with his thorns the sky and the ocean mock their colors they are the ones who are eternal not the red rose or the anxious, yellow narcissus and though their wealth of life is not as great the rose looks to the sky, and narcissus to the ocean the sky watches the rose’s passion wilt to misery and the narcissus droop lower and miss his reflection the sky kisses with radiant lips upon their petals but fails to save them from their fate then he returns his face upon the ocean only the sky wishes his color upon the flowers the ocean’s eyes are oblivious to their colors she has no idea that her shores are built by their petals so when the sky mourns upon the ocean, she screams unable to understand the horror the sky has seen

I really like imagery in this piece. Thanks for reading mine, and to answer your question, yes, I'm an insomniac, but I don't want to be. I also have migraines frequently. Do you have any cures?
