My Garden

MY GARDEN

It’s only rose rains, no reins.
in my   garden  redolent
of you preened and  green.
brainwashed  by  balance sheets ,
soul-washed  by  sour names, 
what remains as mine.
remnants ? residue?  Desiccation?, no!
a sanguine touch,  solitude?, yes!

wanted  or bonded
flushed or fleshed,
secretive or secreting
dry like a silver skyline
or wet like  winter sweat
its  contours  solemn-countering ,
confines groping in green, serene ..
come on in..

By S.Jagathsimhan Nair, 13th feb 14

Incredible... wet like winter sweat... Jag, just awesome. Send this out, somewhere, and I'm certain it would be scooped up by an editor. Cyndi

jaggy, this is wonderful, one of your best! jam packed with all your 'trademarks' of wordplay, alliteration and internal rhyme...I've always told you that you are one of the best male poets on this site, and this poem is confirmation of that...I love every single line - if only it was for a contest of mine! :) hugs, charlotte
