He spent days and I've lost count of 'em
Watering and watching some little plants
He thought would grow into pink roses then.

He dipped his fingers into the wet soil on sunny days,
Touching each budding leaf with a caress,
And the sight of the field gladdened his heart in ways .

But, suddenly dots of withering scenes,
Spread across the budding leaves,
And his little roses fell in mighty heaves.

Why Won't this broken hearted poet
Liken the bitter rise and fall of false love,
To a field of rose that knew not sweat?

But he spent his days,
Setting up boards and dusting the gallery;
And he mixed some paint.

And he moved about the edge of the brush,
Dipped in paint over the boards,
Red, black, blue, yellow, white in a flush.

Behold a nonsense art that called on flocks
Of lovers to hold hands and gaze at;
Lost in embraces of kisses and hugs.

So, the piper played a tune that none heard.
It was distant in a language un-said, but he heard.
"Art over love. Art over girls" it said.

How old are u? U have an aesthetic dexterity in ryhmes and a literal flexibility in the choice of words. This is a poem worth reading by all youths as they grow to adulthood, esp the malefolk who are more likely to have thier dreams belittled or outrigtly truncated by certain relationship issues of life. When I was a teenager, atimes of serious mind issues, I took time out and write my pains and observations on paper as poems and random musings - the pains goes off as soon as the ink hits the paper! I read with ease, passion and understanding, books like Long walk to freedom, Che Quevera's life and times and Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses when I was in high sch! They helped me grow in mind and head! Some Kids of nowadays prefare the opposite of what we craved for...
Well I had girls...they also inspired me to do more to impress them.

Did Ernesto Che Guevara co write Satanic Verses with Salman Rushdie?.

no. His life and times written by another author whose name I cannot presently recall. But I still have the book in my shelves in the village house where most of our antiquities are bedded. I owe the spirit to my dad, my elder brother and one amb. Blankson in whose masterly tutelage I learnt a lot in finding a shortcut from long wandering.
