The Scarlet Smile


And thus it began 
 A winter morn; it was asleep
deep inside a cozy cave
Warmth of the simmering sun
tugging at it wave after wave.
It pulls the flimsy blanket over
determinate; refusing to leave.
The comfort cocoon of its petals,
siphoning rays out of their sieve.

                                                Nature’s theater on song
The wind aiding its weak effort,
o’r the hills; it’s breeze climbs high.
Through the reeds it maneuvers
mimicking the tune of a soft lullaby.
Rocking the baby to a slumber,
the winged beings chirp and tweet.
Humming flies flutter a melody, as the
beaming sun adds a degree to its heat.
Casualties of war
Clouds come to the rescue, as
their grey smoky shoulders meet.
The flower pricked by the change,
yawns stifled, pursed lips heave a sigh.
Breaking the silence they swoop by,
armed with a needle and a keen eye.
And each innocent flower falls prey
to the buzzing devils that can fly.
                                                  The meeting of souls
Hidden in its sanctuary it saw
a massacre; crimson nectar spew.
Lost in dreams, as I stroll close by
in a void my mind romantically drew.
From the surreal world I get a jolt,
on my ears her prayers did land.                                            
Cowering in fright the rose finally
bowed to the bee’s masochistic hand.
Sweet serenity
Moved by its plight I pick her,
saving from a fate ever so vile.
The red rose senses life again;
thanks me with a dazzling smile.
In debt of my help, it promises
on a final journey to a heaven.
To breath its last before you,
a mark of zen ; O fair lady elven.

In fond love for my dear unfound mate!!
