Breathe

 Swimming in an ocean full of tears, 

I'm a fish whose gills are on fire,

I Can't breathe.

Snaking through a jungle of delusions,

I'm a reptile with a burning desire,

I can't breathe.

Flying through a swarm of piercing arrows,

I'm a bird, i wish I could transpire,

I can't breathe.

Rushing full strength, from the predator,

I'm a prey, I too perspire, and I'm tired,

I can't breathe.

Buzzing around the light of life,

I'm a moth; I know my death is certain, yet I mire,

I can't breathe.

With blood gushing out of my slit veins,

I too am a human, waiting to be placed on the pyre,

I can't breathe.

Undirected and purposeless, the gardener was all at sea, For he didn't know, what he should not, and what should he see. A morning that loomed, a flower that gloomed, The gardener...

The Meaning

 P ledging the vows to forever be R esonating around my bouquet like a bee I ncandescent light in the dark for me to see Y ou gave my life a meaning. A n aspiring mind that I was, incomplete without thee  N ights were sleepless, days were long S orrow came hovering, respite was the bong H ope was still alive, but everything took so long A nd here we are, lost in the absence... together, yet forlorn!
