garden of flowers

The earth took the water

Like skin takes my tears

When I watered my flowers

They bloomed like my cheeks.

They were pretty and big

Like my lips in the spring

But sharp and alarm

Like my thoughts about life.

I wanted to have

An ability like that

To take the sunlight in

And grow like tulips.

I had the garden of flowers

But no need for powers

'Cause the garden was

All actually ours.

We watered the flowers

Had no time for showers

Running from my eyes

Because the world was now ours.
