Bud
Bud
Forget nothing and dream of everything opening like a flower bud
Turning memories into fantasy and reality but an if and why and could
Smell the flowers scent and it reminds you of a woman of the wood
Its colour isn’t important but you see its glory in nature like a flame of good
Wrestle with its power then submit because you know inside you should
Aphrodite is your mother and your lover but so misunderstood
When a boy becomes a man he is the hunter but hunted also for his blood
Do not mistake a feeling for a need or you shall be slain by the sisterhood
A blind man knows all of the stars exist but to see them he only has to feel the mud
To need someone you have to put your heart in their hands and know till you both die that a new flower has come from the soil and shown a single bud
