Lily of the Valley by M. Stacy

I want to dance in the aromatic dilemma that is Lily of the Valley

For even delicious perfumes

have their stench

I want to suffocate in the effervescent essence

That the pernicious flora

emanates

And I want to get lost in the luscious odor

That the white petals radiate

destructively

Cause I want to drown in the syrupy intoxication

That the blossom emits while it

corrupts you

I want to waste away to nothing

In the malignant aromas released by

the beautiful buds

And I recognize

How dangerous it is to play

with the alluring Lily of the Valley

But I can’t just ignore the smell

As it drags you into your own

peaceful hell
