Petals! Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Petals!

The yearning for the flower was powerful and my will power waning with every second i looked. A flower so exquisite. Petals in perfect shades of brown and pink. A rare flower evoking so much emotion in my psyche. I just had to touch it. I wanted to have it now and forever. To grow it outside my bedroom window so i could live within its aroma all my life. Pity, the garden was not mine.

Gardens have so much allure, so much attraction if you are not careful you will pluck a flower without permission. My progenitor partook of the fruit after inhaling the intoxicating scent of the flowers and i have not finished and will never finish paying for his deeds. How could he resist the psychedelic power of the aromas in the garden and that he was getting assurance and encouragement to eat the fruit after inhaling the mind altering scent of the flowers. So, here i was facing the same predicament.

Petals! they are bright
The aroma beautiful
No! you can't touch them
