The Sound of The Hollyhocks

            Vincent van Gogh - Vase with Hollyhocks

The Sound of The Hollyhocks

Trapped inside a cage, he remains as a quiet kitten

Following the path of which his parents have traced

Although he frowns deep inside he smiles on his skin

His love was a shattered piece of glass, not recognized by anyone

The cage slowly breaks down

The demon inside lurks out as the sun goes down

The flowers are his best friends as if they did exist

Fleeing to the island that he had always dreamed of

The predator chases and he can no longer run away

Either go back into the cage or flee to sanctuary

One can only take so much before breaking down

Therefore he chose to go to sanctuary

Where he met his wife once again

He never came back

Gentlemen, your verdict poem

Gentlemen, your verdict

Under the deep dark sea lies a submarine

Trapped with the lives of twenty

Hope lies in the hands of the captain

Decisions were made and families are saved

"God save our country and our King"

As they drank with pride and fell asleep

Six days later survivors were saved

Memories were kept and cannot be erased

Guilty or not it is your decision to make   

Poem

Her

Her face of a newborn baby

Sleeping safe and sound under the protection of her mother

Seasons past and days grow old

She matures through time 

Forgotten through time she looks forward to being loved once again

Mail can travel but emotions cannot

Thick mist covers the lies to be told

Hands could not be held through the fog

Slowly she dies as the moonlight fades

The sun rises and life goes on
