Beauty Blooms Bold
by meaghanmerrifield
beauty blooms bold
with a sweeping growth
so great
yet tendrils turn treacherous
as the hours become late
in an indulgent dance
they engulf the heads
they once meekly adorned
each prickly bite
unable to satiate
the aching hunger of a soul scorned
“Beauty Blooms Bold” by Meaghan Merrifield
