Bury Me

Bury me in the earth

So that I might design of myself a garden

Bury me in the earth

So that I might find within some measure of worth

And the strength to pardon

Myself, so that my grieving heart will not harden

Bury me in the earth

Heart of Thorns

My heart is crowned with thorns

Loneliness impinges upon my waking hours

My heart is crowned with thorns

Deprived of all nonessential flesh, my soul mourns

In my eyes beauty sours

All I know of love, a vase of vicious flowers

My heart is crowned with thorns

Very busy day almost no time to write and for some reason I chose to work on a challenging form lol

  1. “Bury me in the earth
    Myself, so that my grieving heart will not harden.”
    Those are powerful words. You’ll have to forgive me, I’m not up on my forms of poetry, so I can’t comment on your writing knowing the form/style/rhyme; I just read it, and judge it on the words, the image they create, and how I feel at the end.
    I write in free verse and occasionally a rhyme. (I would rhyme with a box, I would rhyme with a fox with apologies to Dr. Seuss!)

    1. I had a guide I was referring to constantly lol I really have very little awareness of form. Dr. Seuss, Baudelaire, Edgar Allen Poe are fantastic naturally but usually I don’t like rhymes I know that’s blasphemy but I’ve said it lol
