Little child beneath the flowers
urge the seeds to grow and take root within you
Grow within the flowers child
and let me keep you with me always.
Each flower is a part of you
I smell your scent on every velvet petal
and when I touch your leaves and close my eyes
I feel your skin beneath my fingertips.
Little child beneath the flowers
wait for me there
Together we shall watch the roses grow.
Right...my mind went out on a slightly macabre tangent. And it sparked the idea of this little poem ^^ Comments, critique and criticism is as always welcomed :)

this poem and 'the girl in the pond' can almost be taken together.

as well, this poem could also be less macabre than it seems- this could be about a parent mourning the loss of a child and how they planted the childs favorite flowers on the burial site as a remembrance.
