Beneath the beauty
After the thorns of bougainvillea
Wounded her and left a dreadful scar,
She found solace in a foxglove.
It was mesmerising, alluring,
Pure.
The girl admired and yearned for it everlastingly,
Yet her love never perished.
But as time slipped away,
Bewilderment engulfed her heart,
Consumed her soul.
The foxglove wasn’t as pure as she thought,
As genuine as she had envisaged.
That dazzling being
Carries two sides:
Read the rest of the poem Show less
A poisonous one,
Destined to be her undoing, her doom.
The other was sweet, delicate,
Like petals drifting through the breeze
At spring’s dawn.
And therefore, she was unsure what to believe.
But as the venom seeped in,
The lethal side unveiled,
Fatal to the heart.
When the fairytale lost its magic,
Collapsed,
And the heart was no longer curable,
She started to wither away.
Her soul became hollow.
Love remained,
Though demise loomed near.
Yet she’s still baffled,
By all that’s left is a mystery.
The final breath was drawn,
Lungs aflame,
Pulse fading into silence,
While her body crumbled into luminous ashes.
And with teary eyes,
Drenched in melancholy,
She gazed upon her executioner.
As she stayed a martyr,
Thus there, she uttered a question
That her heart longed to ask:
“Who are you, my dear foxglove?”

"....... a rare thing. Like how the Metaphors sustained all through stanzas, revealing a lethal side was a nice dark touch made me think twice about foxgloves. Well, scribed thanks" -

"Hello, Mini, I really enjoyed the metaphor within this. Knowing very little about bougainvillea and just a tad more about foxglove, I looked into each of their characteristics and charm. I think the symbolism in the poe…" -

"A very enjoyable read Mini. Just one thing, I couldn't quite grasp the use of the hyphen in line 8, if it wasn't a typo, seems superfluous. Alex" -
