Stowaway


Stowaway
Living in a cultivated garden
longing for wildernis
which now only lives
as a stowaway in her heart

Her eyes give away
They say stay, stay with me
be a memory of times
when youth was king

king of  a world
where vines grew carefree
like weed towards the stars
twining around the trees

stay, be a memory of times
when the wild child
lived passionately                                                                                                            
stay with me
