Brought up wild like a sprouting dandelion, 

Freely she roamed lighter than the puffs she blew.  

Down right broke but dearin’ as lilies 

The kind of sweetness a scoundrel can't turn down. 

Unreaped nectar calls for an amassing swarm, 

Overflowing bliss right before the stinger hits. 

In his arms she lies 

A smiling violet plucked. 

Donned in white petals of lily, 

A bashful buttercup glowing golden. 

Congratulations were exchanged, 

But it was a solid maybe within the heart’s secret garden. 

The melody of nature comes to an end 

when the buzzing warning starts. 

The roses on him didn’t come from her, 

No persuasion on Earth can erase that infidelity. 

A room reeks of foreign roses 

An oleander in her bed 

How he died was still a mystery, 

A lily held no poison after all.  

The woman in the veil 

With her head down in a splash of black. 

Bowed she stood 

A lily white in full bloom.
