Yet They Smell Disparate

pain and anguish pours through the heart
when they compare thy art;
smiling across the lament 
when they snub your latent talent,
they cannot procure the nectar 
by peeling petal by petal
sepal by sepal,
can only be snuck up by a bee.
All are bright consummate flowers 
yet they smell disparate.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
