Elegance
A poem about Kira.
Kira, of elegance and grace.
So young for such a strain...
A new day, a new flower-
Love manifesting such pain….
Slowly sapping power-
Never giving up hope,
Resilient and strong,
Such a burden that you face.
For your love you long.
Kira, of elegance and grace
A beautiful sight...
Delicate pink petals amongst white fur-
Like a deceptively pretty stain,
With the tragedy they confer-
So young for such a strain…
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Love blooming from the heart,
Growing like a tower,
So big it’s easier to fall apart.
A new day, a new flower-
So trusting.
With such a strong will...
Not letting these plants be slain-
Those blooms could even kill…
Love manifesting such pain…
Naive about the world.
Must refuse the cure.
Removal would make love sour…
How do you endure...
Slowly sapping power.
