A sapling they planted in the womb of the soil
To cherish a bond as precious as their lives;
In their togetherness it blossomed,
Bloomed with their love
Its beauty ethereal its fragrance enchanting;
Captivated onlookers mesmerized by its charm
Whispered praises of its exquisiteness divine;
But not all sounds praised, there was envy amidst
And as harsh sounds do they penetrate deep,
Corroding the roots with bitterness it sowed;
A shadow of doubt all encompassing,
By its mere presence smothering;
And in prime of its beauty it suffered decline
Withered leaved turned black losing fragrance sublime;
As glorious in its prime as decadent in its fall
And with the plant a friendship died…
