The Deadly Blossom

The downside to hope...

Hope

That beautifully deadly flower

Whose blooms often herald

A struggles final hour

For better or for worse

A bittersweet curse

Just as often as

A harbringer of victory

I hope to hope to not hope

Today

For false hopes

Lead even good hearts astray

Author's Note

What do you think? Too pessimistic?

Amazing. You know I have seached the world for one of the most rarest flowers know to man and still haven't found it. It seems I search endlessly, as it seems you do too. Not for the same thing, but for the same purpose. Hopefully our seach is not as fruitless as it seems. Someday we will find what we are searching for, even if it brings us unhappiness to the fact our search has ended; happieness in the fact we have found what we wanted for so long. Though it seems there is little hope of our search coming to an end remember that you can always find hope in the darkest of places.

No. Totally dead on :) I think the almost fast paced wording of it emphasizes the real meaning of it and the drama. Loved the use of diction and imagery!
