I’M THE GARDEN

I’m a garden where flowers once bloomed

filled with the joyous chirps of birds

with secret whispers and soundless kisses

at night love walked around my shadows.

I’m a garden stuck in the same place

for many years in vain waiting for a return

and instead among the flowers I’ve been buried

in the thorns my nightingales have been silenced

and I’ve been choked by the snakes
