Benjamin

It’s a garden of roses 
Sweet sweet smells of Jasmine and lavender 
It never rains, 
it never pours
 it drizzles patiently 
It drizzles romantically 
I have my garden
I have my Eden
Red roses smile at me
Beautiful birds sing melodiously
I lighten up like a further 
Gentle winds whistles me to the 9th cloud
Exotically I float aimlessly 
It must be love
It must be love
It is love
The drizzle is thicker
It’s rains, it hails
it thunders
It hissed 
It cracked 
It truck................
Suddenly silence
The sun has gone off
It’s hot, it burning
It hurts so bad 
I can’t take it
I’m broken, I’m hurt , I’m stunned 
The roses are Welty 
Lilies are dry
Jasmine and lavender 
Smell like ashes 
It hurts , it burns
The rain that gave me life 
has taken a life
This is my official farewell 
My goodbye to my
My Benjamin my Eden
RIP Benjamin my love
Death do not be proud

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
