The Wilted Flower by Esthefaith(f): 9:01am On Sep 19, 2016 |
A glowing young bloom
Elegantly blossoming
Amidst thorny twigs
To the envy of many
Reaching to have a taste
Of the sweet nectar
Embedded within Endless waiting Persistent doggedness Resistant prick by thorn Exaggerated flatteries Extravagant care Extended curtsey All in a bid To pluck the fragile flower For a domestic garden Amidst smiles and admiration The young bloom is taken To beautify a foreign soil And cross pollinate For the life cycle to continue Forgotten is the great care With which it was plucked Neglected was the fertile soil From which it was nourished Aside lays the incessant admiration In which it thrived The radiant beauty emerge weary Drained by daunting demand Brightly coloured petals turn flaccid Liked an aged breast Plump and shapely stem Deformed by malnourished soil And withering atmosphere The wilting beauty trampled as manure To raise up young blooms And then cast aside The drums of joy sounded Fades into a distant whisper Mocking the faded beauty Of a once alluring appearance No water can assuage The scorch of a scorned woman Tis like a raging inferno Devouring nations |
