Garden in the Shade

by Everlasting   Sep 27, 2016


Our love were weeds just growing strong with time
in fields that people often dare not walked.
Therefore, we lasted long, our love survived,
in fields that people then began to watch.

Our love then grew with winds that changed our life,
as squalls began to break our stems in halves.
Therefore, we lasted short, our love then died
when roots became uprooted off the ground
in fields that people had begin to walk.

It's just that if your love are like some weeds,
then love must be a garden in the shade,
away from people who can pull the roots of love
so that these weeds can gayly live and grow
even if some winds come and break their stems.

    Lucero, this is rather thought provoking amd I like the connection of the weeds being love, very unique as always for you.

    1) I really enjoyed this opening stands especially weeds be like your love because people tend to pick weeds but here they are left to grow and become something beautiful.

    2) I really enjoyed this stanza the most as it is now understandable why you used weeds for love because they are easily changable in the wind especially those where you blow and the seeds go all over (can't think of the name) but those are what came to mind.

    3) perfect. All love is different and should be protected for it to be worth anything as people will come a long and try to ruin it

    Fantastic, Em

    Interesting thought with a different approach to love. I like the description and thought process of how a weed in a garden can hold so much...nicely written!

    Some plants are meant to broken by the wind, to propagate somewhere else, bringing beauty in death. Sorry, that was a bit dark, but that was my first thought after reading this poem. Not many people would use weeds as a symbolism for love, so I applaud you on doing so. (:

    Great write!

      Yup, I think so long as the roots of the weed remains intact, then it won't matter what winds may come.

      Thank you for reading.
