Interesting. Good flow and I like the images of flowers clawing for the sun. And the way it felt to me overall. I also really like your vocabulary! I haven't honestly read much by you for some reason. But I'll have to start.
Asylum in a Hothouse
roses of white reaching
delicate petals pure
leaning toward a golden sun
tiny poppies reaching
shedding blood in dirt
little opiates under glass
an armful of peonies reaching
rich in honor and shame
ornaments below the green
regal violets reaching
untouched by lower castes
huddled among their own
a thousand blossoms reaching
protected from the endless azure sky
from the wild verdant meadows
a thousand blooms reaching
trapped within security
safe but always yearning
a thousand flowers reach
and i reach

You never really loved me/You never really cared/It was all just a game to boost your ego/Those feelings never really there/ I'm filing emotional bankruptcy/My heart can take no more debt/Theres no more "money" there to spend. === Besides tee hee SHE loves me!
