DESERT FLOWER


Albeit under one roof
where father and mother
are poles apart
rather like two isolated islands
she was like an unwanted flower
left in a desert.
In a residence
where silence reigned supreme
where loneliness ruled the roost
the unwanted bloom which she was
it was natural that
to escape the eerie silence
or the numbing monotony of daily life
one day
when a vendor of flowers
approached her offering
love, care and refuge
without any second thoughts
she accompanied him
unaware of the dangers
lurking behind……….
