Love Poem: Derelict
Edward Ibeh Avatar
Written by: Edward Ibeh

Derelict

a
sad
portrait 
of neglect;
arresting garden
lovers manicured teemed with life,
lulled bees, butterflies; when their love withered on the vine,
it's beauty diminished by overgrown weeds; this abandoned garden: what might've been.
