Xeranthemum

Decently made and decently formed,
Embodiment of chastity and innocence,
Supports them who walk a faltering gait,
Pours out she pure sentiments of heart,
Infuses, lends savour of life to the adorers,
Negates manmade walls of caste and colour,
Adds perfume around wherever she moves.

Knows difference between just and unjust,
Obedience is the essence of her existence,
Noble, dignified in spirit, heart and mind,
Treats she brittle hearts with a caution great,
An Ardent alumna of the school of poesy,
Xeranthemum unaware of autumnal winds,
Incarnation of love: Despina Kontaxi.
