Once I Was..

Once I was an unplanted rose
Waiting to be watered
So I would grow into a life of beauty
Now I am
A wilted flower
Falling head first 
Into the ground

The Commitment

The lesion was 
spreading. From 
    inside, I hear the wails.

Past and present 
of time, plows 
    the furrows, in future.

Seeds remain 
unplanted. I seek 
    justice from the earth.

Turn off the lights 
I want to see- 
    the moon in its full glory.

Someone has left 
the message for us. 
    Go out to face the wolves.

Butterfly's Wander

Once upon a time
the old songs were new
On prairies unplanted
invaders were few 

Where rivers rolled onward
no ferries or towns
All riverboat minstrels
new ages impound

The time of the season
unmeasured refrain
And cursed belladonna
tomorrow to reign

As butterfly’s wander
o’er questions unasked
A dark shrouded answer
—  the future unmasks

Planted Within

An untruth is told

A seed is planted

My body is the soil

The roots infest my veins

The seedling sprouts

I’m overgrown with

Weeds

 

Tell a not lie

Planted is a seed

Soil is my body

My veins become the roots

A sprouting seedling

I’m a flowering

Garden

 

Split me in half

Save the flowers

Take the weeds

That strangles me

Uproot them all

My veins scream

The garden is gone

And the weeds left a scar

I’m just unplanted soil.
