POEM BY WILLIAMSJI MAVELI

Unfolding Desire

A verdant cocoon, a secret kept,
Where nature’s artistry is deeply swept.
Petals, like lips, in softest blush concealed,
A mystery of beauty, yet revealed.

A curve of green, a promise of delight,
A hidden treasure, bathed in morning light.
Dew-kissed calyx, a velvet throne,
Awaiting touch, to make her truly known.

She stands erect, a slender, graceful spire,
Igniting passion, with a secret fire.
Soon, petals unfurl, a radiant show,
A lover’s dream, where beauty’s petals grow.
