Eye to the telescope
And we were singing along
But I never wanted a rival
It just came about when
Our similarities enshrined themselves
Our differences exiled themselves

A certain yearning exists
When you provide your own edification
To enmesh yourself with yourself
You were so close
A carnival mirror
A copper pan

The hibiscus is in bloom today
By the time I see them again
The flowers will be shriveled
Clinging half-heartedly to their branches
But more will come again tomorrow

You know, I think the hibiscus is probably one of my favourite flowers. Not #1, but definitely up there.

I planted one in my yard about a year or so ago and I just love watching it bloom. It's a shame that it only blooms for a short time, though!
