seriously

the sun rose and you were mine
we didn't even speak
the child we bore
was the only flower
in this tangled garden
a purple flower
among the bramble of us

these vines extend the discontent
as wisteria to the trellis
soft, fragrant and pungent
reminding us of the one moment
we came together and understood
that love is momentary
and gardens perpetual

grown and mature, the vine clings
to the trellis we left in disarray
as the flower continues to flourish
and bless us with its sweet scent
even as you turn away
from the pruning required
to make this garden whole
