He peers into his mind
for the once planted,
the once loved,
the still flowering,
the motley,
the wilderness blooms.
Without this retrospection
his mind would be a ramshackle plot,
so he tends to it,
even the briers and thorns.
Memory nourishes
flourishes from the seeding,
it also dead-heads and uproots.
There are many ways to garden.
What species was the tree
He grew to be
The roughhewed, splintered
Old rugged cross
What pain He went through
For me
Because His love was true
For you and the whole world too
He grew the plant
That they did implant
Upon His lovely brow
For my sins of rejection and desires
So imperfect
His brow now scared
From those pointed briers
Which pierced so deep and hard
The first ever teachers
now idle
at the entrance,
with feet benumbed.
Drunk with feelings
and wisdom being ebbed,
they fly lies,
he said – not me.
Crowned with thorns,
wearing briers
and clenching our rags
HOME we left.
Shelters mocked at us
and insults rained on us;
here, we stand again
but at the entrance.
Shall we rush into the class
as a troop
and sprinkle emotions
on the withering plants.

Heated only by stars—
Another night without you.
It bites out my very veins,
This shudder from some animal
That made its house-home in my soul
Now since you’re gone.
I won’t play too hard with my dark side,
Though they say now I must.
I’m remembering you instead—our dreams in stardust,
In the light or night of day.
Are you getting the briers I left in your skin?
Stuck to you, I know I hurt you;
But I hope they fit around you like the beginning of wings—
From me.
