Wild Flower

Blossoms/Grows out in the wilderness ,in 
the dark ,towards the light,
its beauty knows no limits and the frangrance enchanting.
Deep rooted ,strong yet so light and envigorting
and its hue changes as a ray of sun,
from dawn to dusk.
Holds all the colours and yet is colourless.
Is guarded/surrounded by giant serpents,
spewing venom when angered.
Tried their luck to tame and control serpents,
few succeeded and rest fell in their trap.
Word spread across as most unattainable,
many battles and wars,some got scars
some pain and others succumbed to it.
Wild flower, gives the strength to move a mountain,
depth of an ocean.
like from a lump of clay,it  moulds to 
a shape which one wishes to be.
The nectar of this wild flower is sweet,sour
and bitter,just how one tastes it.
when it fully blossoms,the fragrance is everywhere,
soothing the senses.
Makes one immortal,liberating the soul,
showing the wings to fly and soar high.

This is such a striking metaphor, Kenisha. There are many dangers out in the wild, but those very though conditions give one the strength to carry on and succeed. ~ Regards // paul

Hello Kenisha, This one indeed is a very fine free verse. Your build out of the theme with your imagery and the overarching metaphor of the poem are very well-executed. A great poem and a wonderful read too!! Cheers, Gary

A unique woman unfolding her beauties and "weapons"! embracing growth and holding tight "light"! A beauty of "no limits", a depth of no measure! I like your metaphor and imagery.. and that is how I put it as your reader! A pleasure to read. A FAV. Be blessed Kenisha.
