Implant Within me a Seed

Implant within me a seed monthly, though the pulverization derides me. Let it conjure hope and solace to shatter my reality as venomous weeds entwine it, sickening me as I lay still in the liquid birthed from my own fruit. Implant within me a seed; let the feral roots ensnare it, suffocating my every breath and cell until it ruptures--obliterated within my frail and aching tree. It be destined to return but stripped of the avant-garde its predecessor once possessed. Implant within me a seed; it’ll part for months, leaving my psych mangled as blood seeps through trypophobic perforations crafted solely by its hand. The seed, thriving as I decay, renders its final blow the day we die. Implant within me a seed; force it into a sanctum where it does not belong, and let fate, warped and distorted, contort my marred soul. That which I once refused to acknowledge shall now delude my senses, forcing me to reach for those who feel not love but only pity for my aberrant roots. Implant within me a seed; let me perish within its absence, yet perpetually suffer under its presence. Wound me with my own creation.

Your end creates you It will return to rip you Plant it, watch it die

Hello Reya, Absolutely breathtaking and raw, visceral, and so evocative. It’s like you’ve reached into the depths of pain and transformation, wrapped it in haunting beauty, and gifted it to the world. The imagery of seeds, roots, and decay is so powerful; it left me speechless. Your words linger, Reya—they demand to be felt. Unforgettable. Congrats on POTD. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

I ridicule you not, sweet Reya. Just like the GMOS implanted in our food source (seeds) and roundabout toxins spray upon it, what we sow we are. We are organic, lest the toxins, naturally sweet, hence the bluer the berry the sweeter the juice. Congratulations on your POTD! Potent -n- rich ~ I Am Anaya

Whoa dear reya, this is a very unique and clever haibun! Your use of metaphors and such creative diction to deliver your thoughts here is truly very impressive! I especially love “ I once refused to acknowledge shall now delude my senses, forcing me to reach for those who feel not love but only pity for my aberrant roots” so powerful and soulfully meaningful! Definitely a fave for me for the creative nature of your word weaving! Pleasure reading your poem today! Sending you light always
