A Field of Scarlet Red Flowers
Wrote this for a weekly theme in a discord server I'm in a good while ago. It's a poem about someone finding tranquility and fulfillment through the flower field they've always wanted. Originally written and posted August 2020
A Field of Scarlet Red Flowers** **
By: A.X. Bueno
I'm growing a field of scarlet red flowers
I'm retired now so I need something to whittle away the hours
They're going to be beautiful and be the brightest shade of red
Rose, flamingo flowers, lilies and more all arranged in a massive flower bed
I need something new to see, a different type of red
I was a fighter once but now that old life is shed
I need something different to drive that ancient rage from my head
To keep myself sane and keep my life free and clear
I'm going to make some space to grow these red beauties and I'll grow them there and here
One day they'll be all grown and I'll have the flower field of my dreams
But for now I'm content to prepare the soil for the upcoming red sea of flowers yet to be seen
Planting these flowers I've never felt so calm before, never felt so at ease
I've found something better than the fighting rings of the past that used to leave me on my knees
At this rate making the scarlet flower field of my dreams is going to be a breeze
After years of fighting and the gloves, sweat and typical smells of the ring
Soon I'll be able to rest in my scarlet red sea and not worry about anything
