Garden Of Monsters

 Roses of love unrequited
real and imagined
of course
in various stages of bloom and decay

Sunflowers of hope
never quite open
and always partially in the shade

Bamboo
once and could be future strong
both grows and rots at once

The vines of worth crawl throughout
the less there are
the more damage it does

And thyme
once abundant
recedes towards the edges
in a race with itself
to the end
