Blooming elusive
Added 2023-08-02 17:45:52 +0000 UTCDeep deep in the jungle
Amongst slithering swampy masses
Roars and wails and screeches
Leeches, centipedes, and parasites
Under the never-ending claustrophobic canopy
Lies the the elusive, ephemeral, and exotic
Rafflesia flower.
An almost extinct queen
Organ meat red and aroma to match
Treacherous and transient
Blooming elusive
With the patience of a chaste nun
Glistening in solitude
Gleaming stoicism.
Rare, radiant, and rapturous
A honey pot sans sweetness
She waits for her prey to come willingly
Transfixed and mesmerised
Unable to break away from her hypnosis
She is ravenous, carnivorous
And she will feast on your bloody ambrosia.
- Blaze Akira.
