Flamboyant Flowers of Anguish

Flamboyant petals of flowers of anguish Blossom in full bloom in your garden Sworn your seasons and reasons for bliss to finish Your favourite abode and space in the garden of Eden Flowers of anguish vow at all costs to steal Sowing and catalyzing sterling seeds of sorrow Grown and scattered in every cranny and crevice at full capacity to fill Your every tomorrow Into your bludgeoned back pricking, sinking and sticking daggers Whose blade Singes, serrates and severs your fingers Purloining your serene serenade to aid Seas and vortices of pain Shaken Sustaining, absorbing and assimilating streams and reams of strain Forsaken and beaten Your teary bloodshot eyes peer into a despair abyss Wondering if life in your case holds any more worth As peace of mind you miss in a serpent’s hiss When all at once a vivid voice on the radio reminds you henceforth God is in control Despatching at once a good Samaritan your way To patrol And heal all flowers of anguish as on your knees you bend to pray.
