Already showed this to a few members but i really need some real critisism becuase I dont want to be embarressed when some publisher tells me s/he thinks it makes no sense...
The Flower
Screams of pain and agony for this soul knows not a word Letting go; she’s pacified; As if drifted into slumber Newly borne and shedding cries. An infant deep inside
Borne long ago into a world of never ending dreams Leaving her heart small; bliss failed to acknowledge her presence, As it dispersed into the winds Just like dandelion pieces, that of beauty’s coils But then flew right through her; to plant its seed in another’s soul So she lays lost among the flowering life that continues to grow
Ivy engulfing her; like a snake—an invisible helix coiling tightly around her; Tangled with the blooming beauty of pristine white lilies and flowers made of sunshine. Their haunting whispers of mockery echo. Flourishing splendor pours from her eyes; looking to kill what was never born And the beautiful ones catch her raining numbness; upon their vibrant petals White chrysanthemums drip her scarlet juice; painlessly.
Vulnerable and scared of life; like a child—Desperate for love and embrace She found herself flowered in blooming red carnations Happily ever after; she was planted in the ground.

I do understand what it's saying, and I particularly adore the ending!
