Flowers that Never Die

less than five minutes again

 

Twenty-six letters,

Arranged in different ways

All mixed and jumbled on the page

Will never express

What I feel for you

 

Magic marker

Fluorescent pink

Colors and curls

Will never express

What I think

 

I feel as if

The sun rose for the first time in my world

And in my world it rained in the desert

The desert grew flowers

And water continued to fall from the sky

And the flowers

Never die

 

I think

That your eyes

Impossible as the sea

Grey and blue and green

Deep as the Mariana Trench

Blackness and falling

I think you are a light

Shining in that hole

As dark as a moonless night

And the stars

That dot the sky

You

Are impossible.

 

I can’t understand

How you could be so wonderful

How can you depend

On me?

When I soul-ly

Lean on you

And your impossible eyes

And your beautiful face

And your eyes that are like the sea, deep, and starlit

And the way I feel new

like a sunrise

And how I feel like a desert

Finally sprung to life, with flowers

That never die.

[bethany cullen]

lovely, I really understand, no matter what how happy or broken you feel words don't always capture how you feel but this poem does x

Sorry, I accidentally submitted that previous review and I wasn't done. I loved all the description in this and how you used different aspects, like the letters and desert and the other things.

I really enjoyed this, it was quite beautiful. I loved the part about the desert and then when you ended with the desert I really loved it more.
