beauty blooms bold

with a sweeping growth

so great

il_570xN.426292907_17yd

yet tendrils turn treacherous

as the hours become late

il_570xN.442052788_idvq

in an indulgent dance

they engulf the heads

they once meekly adorned

il_570xN.489783911_fkb4

each prickly bite

 unable to satiate

the aching  hunger of a soul scorned
