Oh how beautiful your petals,
how lush your blossom.
Such a tall strong stalk
and wandering tendrils of roots.
No lack of sustenance,
could wilt or wither thy pressence.
The face of your flower demanding the attention of the suns.
Yet beneath your supple color lies
such toxicity known to the few.
You sow the seeds among
neighboring gentle flowers.
Planting their self doubt while
poisoning their colors.
They wilt and die at your feet.
Oh Narcissa, how divine.

You sow the seeds among

Planting their self doubt while

They wilt and die at your feet.
Oh Narcissa, how divine.
