Ephemeral Beauty

Listen to poem:
Here I stand before creation,
  a fleeting flower fragile against the elements…
Intoxicating is my beauty in strength,
   for I am a transient in time a floral fugitive…
Demanding devotion and moisture,
   a fugacious flaunting fragrance…
Look upon me in brevity,
   for my bashful beauty will not last the dawn…
I only exist for your perennial pleasure,
   and decay in nature’s nefarious night…
A blossoming burgeon amongst,
   the melodic meadows pullulating with pride…
I am the catalyst between lovers,
   whose exotic expressions manipulate the amorous air…
The pomposity perfume of the goddesses,
   enamoring the euphoric climax.

We are all fragile flowers... Some annual, some perennial, but none are evergreen...

I am about to look up 'fugacious' in the line 'a fugacious flaunting fragrance,' and bet that I will be richly rewarded! Thank you, W.W., as always. Blessings, Gershon

This line, "a transient in time a floral fugitive…" is by far by favorite. Your personification of the "bashful beauty" is appealing.
