I grow toward
Heliotropic odyssey. Buried deep in myth. Iris, crocus, narcissus. Earthy.
I always love how ephkrastic your comments are! Thank you you for reading!
Bouquet blast of blossoms. Spring right out of green blades waving in the wind. Thanks for your cultivation.
Leaves and rain I cannot see,
fall from above
as indifference.
"...Rooted too deeply / to bend towards me. / So I curve to you." Beautiful - really emotive. 🌿✨️
Gorgeous, lush, poetics here. Felt like an embrace of flora.
May we include this beauty in Ray Sweatman’s weekly roundup of great poems on Substack, Kayla?
Yes of course!
Beautiful.
What a beautiful piece. This line in particular hit me as profound- “I bloom
without permission”
Also, I love the Rumi quote at the bottom.
Thank you so much Andy. I appreciate your reading! I love Rumi.
Beautiful, Kayla! I love these lines: I have climbed you
in my sleep
to be held like a leaf.
Thank you Nora! They are my favorite too!
This is such a beautiful embrace of femininity and yearning. Saying what is lovely without speaking of it. True poetry.
Thank you Jay. Your reading embodies the spirit of my words.
