Unfinished

Venomous bite, the spite of the nectar

Simple boundaries to this dominion

Take caution, the cherry tree’s protector

And defer denying daft opinion

 

Through the earth, walks millions of her big boots

Emerald heaves of leaves below the tree

What was said to all men the fig like fruits

Foreign thieves receives what they can’t foresee

 

Pick a cherry and savor the flavor

Scarlet fruit of the gods divinely placed

Sly devils to sneak into your favor

Sultry surrender never mind the taste

 

Call of the tree in the fog of the night

Falling deeper and deeper, manic lows

Try as you might, fight that futile fight

Yet crave relentless power it bestows

 

Glimpse through the branches, sun’s hot flashes

Take that thought and burn the tree to ashes
