Your delicate petals glaring <br />Your unfolding bulbs alluring <br />Your adornments attending <br />Your glory no one can deny <br />Your redolence enchanting <br />And your variegated beauty <br />Uncontested, unrelenting <br />Leaves but a moment’s joy <br />Your splendor soon will fade <br />And the stateliness disappear <br />Without vestige of passion <br />And to the trash consigned <br />And so is the glory of man<br /><br />Oyekake Satty Joshua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/floral-beauty/
