My Garden

My Garden

A Poem by Maan
"

I tried to hide myself from them but they are all I have now.

"

After many torturous days,

time is here to be with me,

with my friends,

with my lovers,

In my garden,


After nourishing them

I sat down on velvety grass,

starting again from where we left

sharing what is lost,

telling what is being found,


My friend Rose,

seems worried

looking and listening to me restless,


My love tulips

are humming

trying to distract me,


The humble jasmines

seem placid

leaning focused,


The naughty daisies

are tamed

hugging each other,


The sweet daffodils

are hiding tears

Ignoring respiration,


And I continued,

each flower,

each leaf of each tree,

coming closer,

to hold me, 


I stared and stared at the grass

from morning till sunset,

inhaling my friends essence,

feeling them,

telling them,


and 


I lay down quiet

near garden’s fountain

when I got tired of crying

I lay down in silence,

listening to the lullaby of breeze

and fountain, 


felt peace

as someone wants to take me

to somewhere lull

I lay down and I slept

unaware of myself, in truce

In my garden

I like your imagery and how you set the mood. It was very peaceful and soothing.

You wrote this in such a manner that I was capable of envisioning the scene. I descriptive write that embraces the reader then drifts them off into a thoughtful trance as it ends. Wonderful!

Very interesting personification of the flowers. I like the use of color. I don't read much poetry, so I don't have much else to add that could be useful to you.

Your poem has a flowery 'green' feel which engenders a very relaxed emotion. I talk to my fern but it has remarkably little to say to me. And I think my apple tree is mad at me for almost killing it. Interesting poem.

This truly felt soul renewing. I like the flower's "personalities," and the line about listening to the lullaby of breeze and fountain was very soothing imagery. Great write!

Not really much to say about what I am or anything about me. Its like I've never find myself in the spheres of something and something not, I always wander somewhere in between them, all I get is the .. more..
