Infectious Flower
My once precious flower,
Your fragrance has plateau:
The beetles lurking in the dark,
and crawling with the thrust
of the wind when it’s light
are mischievous, and they have
no love within their hearts.
Enveloping the essence of
your core, and your once flourishing
inner beauty; they have uncovered
your shining passion of lost light,
which was once a beacon of hope,
thus, your once lovable soul—they
now consume!
