Ever branching ever growing

Love twists and turns its roots showing

Water it or watch it wither

If it dies the worms will slither

Rot and death degrades memories

Fading into neglects disease

All living things need attention

Love never ceases ascension

Stunted growth from malnourishment

Do not let it writhe in torment

Darkness will enter lovers' thoughts

Mold and biting mites will not stop

Hearts riddled and reeling in pain

Something so painful will leave stains

So we must protect loves flower

Cherish those delicate blossoms

Shield from the beasts that devour

Let the light shine and dew collect

Malodorous fragrance showers

Love has its own pungent odors

That change by the very hours

Love can be a fickle flower

Aromatic and beautiful

Poison coated pricks are painful

It is still to be protected

It should never be neglected

Blossoms cupped between caring hands

Inspecting every petals strand

Words water and sunlight glowing

Ever branching ever growing.
