Vienna, soft music, young wine and
a handsome, young stranger.
A small, cozy Grinzing Café
 with candlelight

Our Holy Purple Honeymoon
Deadicated verse to Paris-Maree Boreham an answer to her Poem Purple Honeymoon

Once I sat engaged and blossoming
When I thought of the flowers
In a kingdom full of wreaths

In a kingdom full of seedpods

Who tries to leave the pain I see at school
Or on a school bus

Unfortunately, some of it follows me home
Gives me nightmares, makes me second guess myself.
Empathy does not fix problems

Our love is botanical garden
where the trees have evanesced
The petals have wilted
The roots are debilitated
as if they were immune to growth
And the soil can barely shelter a seed

This is the landscape of the dead
Hope dies...
