Wordplay!!!

All thru the sping
The tiny wisteria
grew and grew, and grew
climbing the pine tree
cautiously at first.

In summer it went crazy
shooting branches
all over and beyond
grabbing everything that stood in its way
like a giant thats lost control
of its limbs
living life to the fullest.
week after week
I'd trim it down.

Winter froze
the hideous bone structure
to death.

In spring
tiny little leaves
at the base of the dead vine
smiled at me.
I knew then,
that
my wisteria would
go on
because it was loved.

you’ve been such an integral part of me
for such a long time
in ways that defy words
i don’t know how to live without you
any more than I know how
not to breathe.

and yet, I must be strong
and go on
twisting my way thru
life
the way a knife
twists its way
out of the heart
it stabs.

*If this goes on any longer we'd soon be forced to change the title of this thread to "HG's Drivel" :)
