two souls just happen to write poems about the same thing the same day: vibes. planets. here's to flowers and their need.


He Picked Me
​
A welcome scent 
A bitter taste
An ego sworn and silent 
Finally grateful
My self communion
A story of uncertainty and loss
A story of confidence and love 
Hurt rings like a bell
Through the delicate hand that holds me
I am not the flower you thought
But if the look and smell moves you
Know that I feel the same
To be put to this purpose in your hand 
To be chosen and cherished by your type
I'm glad you unroot me from what I am
We all die
But I would rather die this beautifully 
Flowers are rare and yet I have my kind 
You came across my patch and you felt nice 
All of them you could bend down to take
You chose me to keep and possess my petals safe 
I'm not sure why so maybe it was chance 
But that alone is the endless cosmic dance 
Let not my weakness define me but my strength 
My confidence and force against the wind 
The wind of doubt that leaves daisies unsure 
They rock and rip and never feel fulfilled 
But a flower is beautiful even when unseen 
When flower knows herself the gorgeous greens
- Valerie Massie
I Pick Me

Unfulfilled, I try and rebuild
An evaporating heart on a shower curtain
The time away, reflects the ways
And the things I envisioned
Now lost on an imaginary piece of paper
Where it once began, could not be blamed
Because the bloom was never spoken
I wait again,
Picking flowers,
Searching for petals,
That colour me in ways,
Where I know longer have to wonder,
Whether or not,
this
love
is
real.
-Jenna Kennedy
