Parents & Petals
Narrative Poem
My mother’s favorite color is yellow, but not gold
her carats of jewelry bespoke
My grandmother’s more of a yellow tulip bulb, among numerous sunflowers
She takes stock in sunflowers womanhood stalky builds
Mere ideals as she has the sun in her eyes
Parents are plucky like petals, each individually picked purposefully
With an indrawn stare, How I miss my mother, I'd cut off my own ear to hear her voice again
Gratitude thick as an oil painting of provincial life in Aries
she was bea-u- ti- fuller than a sunflower on the inside
Crocheting bell bottoms to outgrown jeans
Memories made adoringly with her as sunflower feilds
His warmhearted touch felt through her cotton shirt
I know you're in pain my love
His hands upholding the saltiness of her grief-stricken tears
There's a brightness in her smile optimisitical like sunflower petals
Lean into me my love
