Black Flower

Black flower sprouting from the rocky soil of the slums powering through the cool concrete tombs. Sweeping the devil from Eve's main street Floating fast away from the carnal grate sipping from the grail, God's sweet rain. Now, you're blooming like an ebony pearl. Despite the deep stain of steepening struggle... It was all about your spirited heart and grit You'll not be a flower on a teary clown's lapel You're a sparkling star atop a gem kissed hill. Pin prick temptation awaits-don't drift astray. Doubters and detractors are fleet and persistent. Forge iron discipline within the hue of good faith. On occasion, flash petals like battle axe blades thrashing mind ogres into a cracked nonexistent. Do honor your sextant soul... never drift back into the abyss of the concrete's snake eyed grip... Black flower.
