Seeds of Love

Seeds of Love,
Carelessly planted,
Means you take,
Sanguine Heart for
Granted.

Sow them well, 
One by one,
Each time you’re
Through.
Look what 
you’ve done.

If plans 
Go Awry,
(Sigh)
Let the seedlings 
Quickly Die…

For if you Plant,
On barren soil
A piece of your Heart
Will Surely Spoil.

And the Life You knew
Will Continue,
Though stained
With The First 
Regret.

This poem is well written with excellent comparative descriptions of love and strength of a growing seed. Caution is always good.

Thanks for the critique! I will continue my attempts to be "a growing seed" until I die. And I'm only just beginning...
