POEM: The Beautiful Garden

[Carlton Carr]

1

i trample carelessly
through the beautiful garden
of your eyes
disturbing
the flower beds
of innocence

2

the roses that i ripped
from their fragile stems
the fragrant petals
that i crushed
float down
your mahogany cheeks
and touch the lips
that kissed me
ignorant
of the wreckage
i would leave
in my path

3

i turned the thorns
of your longing
inwards
so they would
pierce
your soft decomposing
core
when i entered
unannounced

4

i poured the acid
of my lust
upon the throbbing soil
of your desire
and all the flowers died
in the beautiful garden
of your eyes
and slowly
turned to dust
