Worth the Pennies

everytime

here be flowers

see them flower

happy like lovers

singing kisses

harmonized precious

see them wilt now

harbingers of death

seeding dirts like 

hellenic arbiters of flesh but

sad and lovely are the things that flower

here and now is all thats ours

see it true 

hand to rose

say it right. . .

heaven always was for everyone

Better Midler is probably still awesome.

This part is so good. You hate and love at the same time, you feel and don't feel.
Still you hope you both go to heaven. But will you?
Heaven might even mean another thing, another dimension, another feeling etc.
But what makes it good is that the person wants to hear it being said by the other person.

''sad and lovely are the things that flower''
Life and death, beautiful and sad at the same time.

Without death there is no life... or maybe without life there is no death. However you choose to look at it, there is beauty in all of it. Even tragedy and untimely endings. Eventually, I think there is peace for everyone. But there is always a price to be paid, and individually we all must face this alone. But that price is what funds perpetual life. From a soil seeded from death and decay grows the most beautiful flowers.

When you have such an impact with just a few words, readers are able to take in the poetry and enticed to read on. It's beautiful writing when you can make a few lines say something complex. Leaves the reader with a sense of meaning that pulls you in and gets you thinking. I love writing massive poems, but good poetry comes in many shapes and sizes. Thanks for the read.

There was a time when I wrote longer things but I always lacked the patience to end things right. It all just blended into mediocrity at some point. There is great value in being able to write long form while keeping the quality consistent. It's always difficult but it pays off if you can really see a vision through over a long stretch of writing. You grow as a person because often times when we really put our ideals to the test over a period of time they tend to morph into something else. Writing longer works is one of the best ways to do that I think.
