Whence comes thy ill? Thy brooding bitter pill Ploughed deep in fertile soil, sprouting to seed Snake-like tendrils crawling to sprawl and spill, Choking lush verdant fields with poisoned ****; Wilted young peaches, withered pears dying, Irises blinded, red chrysanthemums Faded to white, strewn petals borne on sighing Dark fitful clouds rend'ring the landscape numb; Oh bitter pill, thy loathsome poisoned thrill Afflicts one tainted by unsated need To wilt and wither, blinded, faded, ill Craving for thee with hollowed hateful greed; Sweet bitter pill, thou will be coveted Till once ripe lush and verdant fields lay dead.
