Vines that Bind

The garden now shuts out the light
Overgrown tangled vines
Within the room day is turned into night
Darkness, blindness bind the mind

Life’s garden has entangled my heart
Twisting vines confusing love’s intent
Weeds of deceit tearing me apart
Until all emotions are lustfully spent

Pruning seems the only course
Cutting away both vine and weed
Removing the darkness of remorse
A chance to lay down fresh new seed

Beautiful Michael ,we all grow better after a good prune,but don't plant new seeds please, the tap root of you is strong and will grow perfectly when those weeds and other troublesome vines are pulled away. I can't wait to see next seasons flowers...guess this poem is one that managed to bloom anyway.Love your ideas.
Sincerely from
