The Flower That Grows By The ˈmeɪz

   The flower that grows by the ˈmeɪz nestles close
And stalks like parishioners rising to ˈpɹeɪ
As they listen to the sun preach warm verses
Her face aglow with petals that reach open
Both brave and vulnerable coaxing the husk to follow
The height beyond her bloom hides a labyrinthine
Cast of fallen idols tangled in cunning charm
If overgrown to see with ovarian eyes and capture
Lurid scenes like film cut lost in the edit
She would strangle any ear brushing tassel
But in these moments there is only solar bliss
The flower that grows by the ˈmeɪz yearning kiss
