DarkPoetry -|- Narcissa -|- Azalea

Azalea

She sends floral invitations
To her seasonal climax
But vitality is fleeting...

Exposing arteries
Is elemental suicide

My beauty
Stop
Denying support
These encryptions of love

Foliage isn't
ornamental or
Insignificant mulch

Its time for you
(and I)
to finally leaf

...makes me wonder who made the mulch? But that's just reading it from my own depraved point of view.

Perfect Kellie. Painful but, that end stanza made me smile a bit, assuming I read it correctly. Excellently written as always
