The Gentle Wind in a Garden of Rosary PeaA Poem by Adeosun Olamide
In a garden of rosary pea I do lie, a gentle wind-
There to perish, I softly swirl- yearning release- From undying grief brought by a season, mad in nature -A cold cold that slain the snowy lilies, my only love A parallel of roses once swirled, I deeply- too That nurtured from earth where buried -But roses, lusty- loved the sun, the sun alone And hast, say no whiff for my bottomless fill Ah, then- when the sun, its angst has bore Then its tongue over the roses bloom, lapped And leave a burnt, a shriveled to, in shame I came then again, hurrying to the -roses aid, To bury, free from the suns " mortifications Here, along this unrequited where daily wandered Came my snowy lilies- neath some flowering almond They - dawdled lonelily and shyly there, That upon there look their thoughts were written And beck, I softly sang and made them dance And swirling, filled here bottomless with fragrance -Four seasons slept and woke- but in love, a jiff When with, in my watch and air, their bosom lie Heard whispers, of colds- love to a jasmine Whom when touched by- a cypress came And of its love then to a dahlia that red pour- And in their bosom where lie, I did feel Echoes its ire that made the sun frost than a moon And allowed under some aspen tree-’ its ire thrive For not a fair flower bare a desire, dreading it -Nurturing its foul and hatred for all that was loved And all that was loved, it spats its venom- And none was loved than my snowy lilies And none was festered than my snowy lilies -Now shredded, perished a death by me- Than be frozen in colds embrace from reach I, in a garden of rosary pea do lie, the gentle wind There pleading, weary- to go where my lilies came © 2017 Adeosun Olamide |
