Daffodils & Thorns Poem by Deepti DMello

My soil grows daffodils with thorns plenty
Enticing me to touch, to be pricked as I hold carelessly
I cry and bleed in pain, vowing never to feel them again
But then the petals shed, fly high to touch caress my pain
I let lose my heart, to step in the garden barefooted, dreamy
Yet more to be stabbed with poisonous pricks strong, ruthlessly
Dilemmas of desire then fight a battle fierce
Illusions or facts make me sulk sunken human
Daffodils I see thorns I feel
At threshold of confusion, regret, fills me till forever.
