Flowers And Festivity Poem by Enchanting Owl

Flowers And Festivity

Rating: 5.0

I used to blindly love you with bawdy.
Encrypting your beautiful name for my soul and body.
Offering you festive tables and freshly picked flowers.
I was willing to be your loyal follower.

But the wave of truth came with a sad psalm.
The entry is the thorn palm; the exit is the bold qualm.
I pleaded rough with you not to fall in love with someone.
I prayed hard for you not to wait for anyone.

This is the basal stigma in my heart.
Stigma that can't be healed through endless time; a drifting art.
Stigma that repudiated happiness and acceptance.
Reason I kept drowning instead of ascendance.

Pride is like a snake killing its bland prey.
Suffocation is addiction; sighing is deep quarry.
You stepped on the flowers and refused my call for a feast.
In my eyes, you are now the castle ghastly beast.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In life, we are white and black. Once we offer our hearts to someone, we tend to give everything. We plead, we pray, we sacrifice, we are blind, and we hope. If accepted, everything is okay. If rejected, all hell breaks loose. We turn our love into hate.
