Weeds...

Lighthouse Dandelions by Jamie Wyeth

Growing weaker

Roots wrapping around my heart

Pulling me down

Memories

Faded not forgotten

Appear from nowhere

Chest

Heaving skyward

Feet rooting downward 

Each breath gasping

Seeking freedom

Cut loose these weeds

Choking my heart

Let gray clouds part

Leave dark memories behind

To live my final days in peace 

Sharing today at The Mag and Woven Dreams where today's prompt is "weeds". 

When in France, do like the French

Bags packed

Passport ready

Mouth watering

French meals we’ll eat!

Grandchildren splurging

Oh, what a treat!

Memories to be made

Last trip they say

I don’t see it that way

A chance to enjoy the world

Give it a fun twirl!

A whisper in my ear

Mon Amour, my dear!

Grandpa and I

We got gusto don’t you know?

Exhaustive flight!

Hotel for the night

Wake to afternoon tea

Now, pool with Grandpa

Grandkids and me

Grab some chairs

What’s with the stares?

Grandma! Your bathing suit!

Who gives a hoot?

In France do like the French

At your age?!

Can you pass a tissue? Please.

Helpless

Trapped

Red eyes

Staring through windows

Crystal clear view

Of prison yard

What some view as beauty

To me

Tormentor!

Villain!

Thief of my happiness!

Oh, that I could

Trample through

Your garden!

Removing all rainbow colors

No pot of gold

To be found!

Only pain, locking me away

Hidden from the world

You

Skip

in the sun

Heart lifting skyward

Joy reigniting your path

I

Sit

Vigilant

Waiting

Colors to fade

Leaves to drop

Sky turn grey

Winter’s return

My turn

Skip freely

heart lifting skyward

Allergies gone!

Posting today at IGWRT - the underbelly of Spring!

3 Word Wednesday - helpless, trample, vigilant

Poetry Jam - crystal

Thank you to all for the prompts! I don't have allergies but my son does. He does not see the beauty in the flowers at all!
