Virulent Garden

red rose of rage indigenous to the past suffocating progress May your thorns wither and your petals wilt seeds of weary disquiet sprouting deception and chaos with diverging agitation I pray the ground be barren on which you were spilt Binding vines of poison ivy perversely overpowering asphyxiating roots of renewal let your growth be stunted prune back your aberration Parasite that is jealousy diseasing with discontent and stinging bite of disillusion your plague be eradicated succumb to extermination And me in my dappled shade catching flashes of sunlight unthawing my frost bitten heart blossoming cultivation of love Flourish in perennial season
