Poem -
The man who chose The garden over the firmaments
(A poem for Shirley Harrison)
Seeing a blossom on a tree
Through the rail of the man's fence
He imagined what he saw was a
Woman in a dress.
Â
This he decided was The garden.
A young man who thoughtÂ
His words weren't meant for lying.
He wrote this down,
Â
For the man's mind had found that
Even though from the firmaments he came
This place he'd call home.
Even Death became a friend.
Â
You'll understand.
And the feeling got the better of him.
Even love was The apple
His heart would be buried in the ground for.
Â
Even love was a sin.

Your imagery flawless
Back then, I didn't won't to ruin the illusion, but 'fence' was originally scratched in my notebook as 'rail'. Simply because I have a rail, instead of a fence.Â
Hello R... for me this reads like a spark of light found in the darkness... maybe one a soul imagined never existed. The fact it is inspired by our very own lovely Shirley makes it all the more special. Beautiful writing and sentiment. Also i read the comment ...'even death needs a friend' and your use of it here is perfect Hugs x
That was really great, Rory, you’re a very talented writer! Loved it! M.
Cheers, hey
