Memoirs of a Monocarpic

The story of me and you

Is certainly strangest and new

The characters common but the relation not so

As one is the sun and other a flower which only once in a life grow

Every beautiful warm day

You bathe me with your every ray

You shine all day long for me

Coy flowering of mine you've to see

Everyday you wish I might flower soon

"Watchout, when I'm away!" you even tell the moon

But thinking of my flowering also raises a pain in your heart

Cry our story would end, shortly after the start

You wait and wait and wait some more

Afterall I flower after 120 years, which is galore

Everyday you come with your sweet smile

Never blinking, looking at me all the while

I'm never able to have a look at you

But your warmth soothes me and I know your love is true

I never have seen you throughout my lifetime

But feel you everywhere, in splashing water and bird chime

Of the countdown, today is the day zero

Now, I shall blossom from you, my hero

I thought I'd surprise you with my smile rare

But you were ready for my welcome with a rainbow, so fair

See that's the way the system works

One's heart knows when other gets jerks

Everything was great and too was the ambiance

Drizzling raindrops, a rainbow in the woods dense

We talked and talked for many days

But were heart broken, when goodbye were to say

When, it was time to bid farewell

You, who are shy, too came out of the shell

You held me with love and kissed me gently

Fireworks exploded for both of us mentally

I wanted that beautiful moment to never end

'Halt!' a message, to the ticking clock I wanted to send

I was in tears when you completely were set

My petals and leaves were all wet

But memoirs beautiful I too slept

Never to wake again, deep in the soil I crept

That was a Monocarpiic's memoirs

Whose life is unlike the chores of the choices
