"Remember... anything done in anger will always leave a drop of blood in someone's heart, and even an ocean of tears cannot wash it away." - The Legend of the Hibiscus
Hibiscus
Hibiscus the flower of pride
In color you said it right
Bright and beautiful to the eyes
In dignity you stood up right
Smiling and swaying nation wide
Calling all in peace to unite
Unique flower in petals of five
Symbol of Malaysia nation wide
by Mary Das
Hibiscus
Your prostrate self
In the ground did confide
Where you lay down our woes
And diced vanity and pride.
And from the time worn prose
Of the epitaph,
Grew a sacri legion rose
Coiling up a staff -
A stake in the ground
Of an old forgotten fellow,
Where the rose wound
Up in an impudent yellow
Burst of petals.
And the marigold
Sometimes meddles,
Infinitely secure
Under the cherry trees,
Who are spraying heir scents
caught in the breeze,
Like errant fragments
of what you taught,
Wisdom keeps trickling.
Fruits of knowledge
Are pickling, pickling
In jars left infact
That, today, still preach
Light rays which diffract
the myriad peach.
What did blossom in the spring
But the lissome hibiscus?
Five red robes bearing
Your humble hubris.
We drink the nectar
of your reverberations,
Trying to make vector
Of hallucinations
