ΤЂЄ BEAUTIFUL GARDEN

1

i trample carelessly
through the beautiful garden
of your eyes
disturbing
the flower beds
of innocence

2

the roses that i ripped
from their fragile stems
the fragrant petals
that i crushed
float down
your mahogany cheeks
and touch the lips
that kissed me
ignorant
of the wreckage
i would leave
in my path

3

i turned the thorns
of your longing
inwards
so they would
pierce
your soft decomposing
core
when i entered
unannounced

4

i poured the acid
of my lust
upon the throbbing soil
of your desire
and all the flowers died
in the beautiful garden
of your eyes
and slowly
turned to dust

(For David: I often call you cruel and abusive, conveniently forgetting τђє things that I have done to harm you. I wish that we could go back to τђє beginning and do it all differently - but I know that this is not possible. It is too late for us!)
