To A Venus' Flytrap Poem by Akhtar Jawad

To A Venus' Flytrap

Rating: 5.0


This world is merely a Venus' Flytrap,
In birth and death is a moment of gap,
Life is the petals that act like bars,
All living things are prisoners of wars,
A battle field for the rival powers,
The insect catchers, look like the flowers!
But the flowers of life their beauty and charms,
The attractive nectar has many hidden harms,
Fragrance is deceptive but attractive as well,
Colors are exciting and refractive as well.

The insect wants food to live and enjoy,
Hunter is hunted and the Child breaks a toy,
Oh My God! How shall You avenge?
I don't understand Your award Your revenge!
The Venus' Flytrap is destined to hunt,
Is life a truth or a movie's stunt?
Nobody knows, but the logic says,
I have gone through the various ways,
For a fly in trap another life is a must,
The essence of beliefs I firmly trust,
Life after death, a desire of life,
I love this dream with admire of life,

And desire of life I've seen fulfilled,
He will pay it, let the God be billed,
Why to die in hate and to die in wars,
Why don't fly in love to the charming bars,
Let us taste the nectar of a charming flower,
In the rains of emotions a pleasant shower,
All for us, Rose or Jasmine or the Queen of Night,
Warming up sunlight and the lovely moon light,
Life is pleasant in love, may be love a trap,
The ignorance in-between is a lovely gap.

Let us dwell in the gap and sing and dance,
How lovely is romance! We have got a chance.
Let the fate do, whatever is written,
Let us taste the fruit, may be forbidden,
Very soon, the petals will capture,
The beauty and charms are to rapture,
With us, the ignorance will diminish and will die,
Speak the truth, no refrain, don't tell a lie,
Everything will be clear everything we shall know,
The flowers are waiting, too close is the blow!
Our life is nothing but a very short gap,
With love to deception of a Venus' Flytrap!

Wow that a lovely wish from a poet in poets notes..... Life may be a deception but I shall prefer to die in love instead of dying in hate. Very true said, its better to live a life beautifully in love so that one will not feel regret of having never lived. Loved the way you captured Venus Flytrap in love.

Life appears like an innocent flower....! As we attempt to enjoy its beauty and fragrance, it traps us like a Venus flytrap and we are made prisoners until death..... Between our birth and death, there is only limited time! Instead of spoiling that life in war and rebellion, let us enjoy it in peace and romance (love) ! Great ideas, clverly presented!
