Dubious Possesion
Roses unfolding the redness inside me
Swathed my heart…my entirety
These petals slowly uncovering with glee
Trying to unveil the veracity.
Peeling the deepness…
Unraveling the emptiness….
Grip the stem of this forlorn petal
Sip all its sweet nectar…
Its yours.
Its yours to keep.
Its yours to cherish..
It’s yours to relish…
Open your heart
Glance at this redness
Stare beyond the vastness
Discern this emptiness…
Bisect the thinness of these petals
Caress all its brightest hues…
Its yours.
Its yours to marvel.
Its yours to adore..
Its yours to admire….
Mind this bud
Look into its uniqueness
Be thrilled with its highness
Pervade this emptiness…
Scrutinize the potency of these sepals
Test its verdant shadows
Its yours.
Its yours to dwell.
Its yours to lurk…
Its yours to skulk…
Neglect it and you’ll suffer
Desert it...you lackluster!
But its’ beauty you never could hinder
It’s sincerity you couldn’t vex forever
Grasp it in a jiffy….
Posses it mild and swiftly…
A n y w a y
Its yours.
Its yours to keep
Yours to marvel
Yours to dwell
Its yours…
Its all yours…
