Poem Title:
Poem
As wings of butterflies dance upon a vision So curious about this pretty deadly bunch Flowers of aesthetically blending colors Sweet misted scent of a deep rainbow shrouded in Rows and columns of purple and white fantasy Peace adorns one space in a blurred vision spellbound Drooping clusters from woody climbing bines entwined A whisper under the wind’s breath through rustling leaves Stroking its invasive nature to make it grow One bares the coming force of the season's trials The seedpod overflows with toxin saponin Its poison bleeds from the roots of restive spirits It can overtake and choke out other species Growing with Eden's bounty wandering aimless As is the dark side of the human condition Overwhelmed by a controlling mind dumbfounded What you see is not truly what you expected Nothing short of a miracle radiates light These silvery-blue flowers on high twining stems Under the flag of beauty bewitching promise It silently hides a toxic in its seedpods Bitterness is camouflaged by fresh spring fragrance A pleasing aroma to fill you with delights Without a sense of foreboding one remains calm Not knowing that the deadliest holds an allure Held by its underlying mission unappeased Danger leaking into a world of ignorance One easily welcomes the feast for the senses Unknowingly becomes the unsuspecting prey Kissed by the sweetest fruit of death – a living smile Copyright © Angeline Lim and Liam McDaid, 8th May 2017
