Underneath the Magnolia Tree

getting over depression and heartbreak and how I coped

Underneath the Magnolia tree

It’s scent rippling through me 

Makes me want to kiss the buds and throw my arms into the branches 

Thinking about the girl i love 

She reminds me of this tree 

I never noticed it before, never knew it

I find solace in the tree, taking the buds and mixing it into a batter

The cookies gingery and filled with love 

Even though this tree makes me feel sad, i feel love for her and that’s enough 

I feel sad and happy and lovesick and sweet 

The magnolias are beautiful 

White and pink 

The girl i love’s favorite colors 

Though I’d argue that she looks best in black 

Majestic and when she smiles, i feel that magnolia bud opening 

And my love bursting through

Happy and sad with rain and dew and love 

Pink and white magnolias 

I hug the branches, kiss the open flowers 

And think of her, crystals staining my cheeks and an image of her 

Running in front of me, saying my true name, laughing 

and almond shaped eyes half crescent closed 

Wearing a summery flowing white dress, holding my hand, 

Tugging me toward her, 

Toward a field of magnolia trees and emerald grass and gold dandelions….

Suddenly

I am sent back to the magnolia tree, hug it’s branches and cry, 

laugh and smile with love 

bursting from me like an open flower
