Petals of Disguise
A free verse
Should I wait to bloom or smile today?
Climbing to bloom,
Up above the stems of pride,
Through the xylem of a motivated smile,
Step by step to the top,
I dream of -a free petal one day.
Waiting for my rendezvous,
With the pink sky,
Pouring my strength-vanishing,
Thoughts of smile-not so ahead,
I live today to reach the top.
And then one day,
I saw that sky,
Oh! Was I near that day of life?
Where emotions of beauty,
Steps to cuddle my pollen sight!
So did the night pass,
In strange butterflies in my laugh,
The day was here — patience untied,
That secret doors to life were opening —
Leisure — I see — grin from ear to ear
Hey! That was light?
And then I bloomed —
Or so I thought!
All until those hands tore my last leaf,
chopped me, and poured into his bowl of drink,
I saw my hopes die — I saw my colors — dedication — fade.
That day was spent in grief-fading bit by bit,
Now feel I was better below
Rose to see just this day to hope?
My petals were scattered-
I never thought to bloom again.
My end was here — so was the spring in my voyage,
I wish I bloomed in the process,
I hope to smile the day it sent,
sent me glitters of food — the process of blooming by,
I wish to escape away from this gloom.
Should this darkness follow by
as a fade into the merge to this soup?
Or a cup of tea was it?
Left my scatters behind,
I’ll live the other one — process it spells high.
