The Flower and the Vine
A beautiful flower does bloom
As a menacing vine lurks
slowly creeping its way up the flower
taking away its power
The vine can be pulled
it can be cut
but unknown to all
the two are back together
time and time again the relationship is severed
but apart the two can not be kept
one begins to wonder...
does the problem lie within the flower?
Can something that brings such pain
be the answer to its happiness?
playing with the one known as death
but envisioning it as angel's breath
we watch this flower wither away
a shadow of its former self
its very existence controlled by the vine
I think this is excellently done, and one of the best I have received in daily random poems.It so well personifies a damaging romantic attachment.
Smile.. it is the cheapest facelift.
This was very VERY good!! (I got this in the "daily random poem" thing. well written......and it really made me think. Awesome job.
