Bright bloody red Adonis flowers on a mountains ridge
Blooming from the earth’s ground in the desert land
Can’t miss the signals to those strolling on the bridge
A flower to cause painful recollections at hand
Beside the Adonis grows the aloes red and yellow
A beautiful sight when not so clearly seen
Flowered with spikes; if touched you’ll surely bellow
Gorgeous to see yet beware of the grieving they mean
Champagne and Begonias wait at the end of the trail
A heavenly sight for those whom unknowingly know
What dark thoughts reside inside the begonias pail
Lovely displayed to encourage dark thoughts to flow
At the end of the evening while your on your own
You reach for the lily of the valley laying on ground
The mean flowers you’ve seen have died all alone
Happiness returns and your smile glows all around
