Long Symbolize Poems

“Forever”



When The Terrors came,

her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,
beds of Forget-Me-Nots,
she followed the 
labyrinthine trail 
and through a gate unhinged,
it would seem destroyed, thrown aside,
she...

Psyche wracked with agony

they wanna remain permanently abed.

with ambition, disposition,

Curious to know how plants grow

Roses in the garden,

Roses in the world,

Barrened roses,

Roses impearled,

But now roses curled...

 

Peach roses show modesty,

Peach roses show gratitude,

However, they are often insincere...

 

Yellow roses seem to care,

Yellow roses show friendship,

However, they are often joyless...

High yellows and deep purple. 
Erasing the blues.
Though I can’t hide from them, because inside of them,
 Lies context clues.
They keep popping up on my canvas, as if it’s some news
