(you said i was a gift, the universe owed you one)
cover my eyes with daisies,
make me feel like i'm choking on daffodils
say "thank you; you may have her back now"

I love how it begins as a whisper. The brackets are the real star of this piece.
The impressions I got from the flowers were almost an innocent image of falling petals. A very loving image to intertwine into your words.
The ending is perfectly poised. Poised being a good word for the piece as a whole.
A lot communicated in this poem. Thank you for sharing.

what a wonderful comment! ^-^
I tend to just pour out what I'm feeling into my writing (..makes it hard for me to view it objectively) -- so it's really awesome to see a nuanced and thoughtful interpretation such as yours
..totally agree about the innocence, and I'm happy you like the bracket part so much! xD (certainly makes me value it more)
Thank you :)

Love the lines. Makes my mind spin on the true meaning. Though the mystery is part of the beauty of this piece.

Hullo, beautiful
so much to like here, not least the picturegraph. Title, quote and note all carry a significance which works well In tandom with the more metaphorically leaning body. a clever few lines which connect everything together in a most finese-filled manner. And there, amid the violence, I found some solace this poem was written in present tense and not past
remarkable write
*hat tip*

Sometimes we lunge out for something or someone we grab hold tight for a while, and then something in us changes.

This makes me think of woman who wants to have her cake and eat it too.
She likes to be a good girl but now and again likes to tap into her naughtier side too.
Then it may just be my imagination running away with me again.

From the earth we came, and thus we must return.
Reunited with the sprit to which life is no concern.
