Troubles Poem by NurViktoria Ellen

TROUBLES

The trouble with orchids is
they don’t last so long
but you can grow them
under the right conditions
in a glass cage
with artificial light
and plenty of water
anyone can cultivate a priceless flower.

The trouble with love is
it sprouts when it is most inconvenient
and grows defiant in the dark
may never see the sun
still proliferates wild and vigorous
becomes impossible
to eradicate from my heart.
