Notes About The Poem

Gemini Wall Flower

Oh my Gemini wall flower,
I wonder how your buds blossom,
as fragile florets yearn for foundations,
encouraging their roots to bloom.

If I should sow you into erratic earth,
suspicious sun might suppress its love,
relentless rain may suffocate your air,
with wicked winds stripping your petals.

So I will hold you in my hands,
compassionately caress your soul. 
Implant you in my heart,
so my love can cultivate you -
protecting you from the storm.

Empathetic eyes will gaze,
enchanted by your elegance,
lost within the tranquillity of 
your rare radiant scent.

Oh my Gemini wall flower,
you may be a lotus or a rose,
it does not matter much to me.

Simple Musing
Silent One

Jean Murray March 19, 2018 at 6:14 AM Self love is vital and to be protected at all costs. If only we could be born with that prior knowledge. Silent One March 20, 2018 at 4:35 PM You are right Jean... Thank you

Laura Breidenthal March 13, 2018 at 1:06 AM I certainly love the Gems in my life, and you're one of them. Beautifully written - and great song choice by the way. The flower duet is very nostalgic for me. "relentless rain may suffocate your air, with wicked winds stripping your petals." They need their freedom to breathe and flourish!"as fragile florets yearn for foundations" Such a gorgeous line. Always, Laura Silent One March 15, 2018 at 9:44 AM Nice to see you Laura, everyone one needs a Gemini in their life... Thank you..

Silent One March 15, 2018 at 9:45 AM Will look up that song thanks Leanne Lovejoy-Burton March 12, 2018 at 11:25 PM I like that song, "Scent of Magnolia" by David Sylvian. Haven't listened to your song here yet. Must do.

Wallflower is a metaphor for one's body and gemini a starsign...
