Would I?

If all the beautiful flowers
Were suddenly gone
And only you were left
Would I pick you
Or let you grow wild and free?

Thanks. I'm not a poet by any stretch, but just had this rattling around in my head. Dunno why.

You are too modest. That is a beautiful little gem. I like it very much.

Wow. I really did like it. Those few sentences capture quite a bit of depth in its meaning.

i have seen a man wanting to weep
but
instead
beat his heart until it was unconscious.
