Roses Of The GardenA Poem by emone emmanuelMust we kill the old love seeds to grow new love seeds.
People came,People left
But the barrack of our hearts did not remain the same Love grew,blossomed and flourished like the Rose of Eden Love died and was quickly buried in the cemetery of our hearts Did we really love at that time? You are the best we said to this one You are better than the best we whispered to the other one We were excited with each new arrival At last an answered prayer,a love made in heaven the religious will say A perfect match,well calculated in the love meter the calculative echoed People lived in us,people died in us though we pretend that we were not part of the funeral I kneel in my garden as I pray the Lord of the wind to ask the wind to plead with all our offenders and all the offended,the loved ones we did not return their love should forgive us,we plead for pardon from those we gave false hope even as we forgive all those that offended us, Forgive us for every love seed that died in our hands,for those that died in our heart-ground,for the seeds that we uprooted and those we failed to water with care,for those we failed to weed Let us all assume all that bites in our nights to be ordinary mosquitoes,so that it can pass with the past Fly away our my fears for I have prayed with the rest Oh! Let the flood gates of heaven be opened for us to receive our new love seeds,we will cherish,nourish and flourish this seeds oh Lord of The Harvest May the rain of heaven wash clean our heart-earth,and cause every seed we ever planted to be the right seed in the right garden. © 2015 emone emmanuel |
