Cloak Of Smiles (Collab')

by Mr. Darcy   Feb 16, 2009


Potential arcs inside locked gates
In one small palm a seed awaits
Gently placed within earths womb
Nature's gift will surround it soon.

Seedling sprouts to a morning sun
life so frail, it had just begun.
From soil she fed and spread her roots
Skywards growing from tiny shoot

In one bud was life a new
Nourished for her bright debut
A world smiled on her petals soft
Essence of freshness gently waft

Midst the crowd lurked a wire smile
viewed budding youth with mind so vile
Warped obsession of stench desire
Ruin impends with his calloused fire

This spectator had fingers black
He licked his lips and made them smack
With cloak of smiles he made a friend
Secured her trust so she'd depend

She couldn't see through his parody
Her need for nurture was plain to see
So when his shadow blocked the light
She sheltered within his smirk of night

Morose the song of night owl's rhyme
She knows this rose will never shine
Beauty destroyed on soil of red
Discarded, used; her virtue bled.

Daybreak dew opaque with shame
The dark had made her petals stain
Roots were plucked and left to dry
Dying she cries an echoed why?

    This is an excellent collaboration, I knew with both of your talents, something breathtaking would be the result. An interesting idea presented very well. Respectively dark, and excellently penned poem.

    Wow I must say that the both of you have done a fantastic job. I like how the both of you used the metaphors of seeds and roots representing birth and growth.I like the twist at the end of how the girl was lost her virtue. The vocab that was used, really enhances this poem bring it to life. Seriously both ur words intertwine each other smoothly that i couldn't even tell who wrote which lines

    Excellent Job
    5/5
