You got your way,
but your seeds...

I Hear You Call

Upon this vantage pedestal I see you, 

i gaze from this hollow quest,

     A sad sight of a deserted dwelling; a burning eyesore

  Tantamount to sown seeds of dreams forgetting to sprout

Black rose,

Hard for the storks hovering in the air to vanish beyond the longing of the times

No Flowers In the Field
