The Maintenance of Paradise

We walk into the picture of her eyes
Where butterflies on raindrops sweetly dance
And flowers of all colours hypnotize
And rainbows drop before her very glance –
So orderly and bright, a Paradise
Is here created where she trains her gaze,
For she allows that buttercups are nice
And won’t allow those weeds from stranger days –
So into this a gremlin ghoul in grime
Whose dark chaotic squint creates a mess
Of toads and lizards, snakes and other crimes
Against her cultured garden… nonetheless
She knows some heroes with a spade or two
Who'll look to give him soon his gruesome due.
