a trilogy of poems in both the project & desc • ⎯ ❦ ⎯ I hope it's good enough ⭐︎ space or click to go next five slides flowers bloom and roses die ⎯ :: my dear mother To my dear mother, my mother who had not found me so dear Why, oh mother? Years have I built my empire ⎯ Conquered fears, fought internal battles so severe Yet it is not I who you admire Marigold, the golden child, Her blossoms prevail your garden And I stand alone, singular and wild Still no recognition comes :: marigolds and roses The roses ⎯ my flowers, the Roses Wither and shake and tremble with fear The Marigolds dominate, they rule andpose the problem, the unfortunate, undeniable truth so clear She possesses the key The key, to the garden A key so surreal I cannot see why, why? :: this is goodbye To my mother and to the marigolds, this is goodbye Too much have I been bent and folded Too many times have I never sufficed So this is goodbye, A goodbye forever, No matter how much you search, Around the globe and through the moutnains, You will never find me And only til you reach the bottom of the lake will you find me at last, but then it is too late. Because too long have I waited patiently, worked til I saw nothing but black, struggled for the spotlight, So this is goodbye Because when the marigolds bloom, the roses die.
this is up to interpretation, as all art is <3 I'd like to hear what you thought of and how you analyzed these poems ! ♡
