Chocolate Cosmos

"Chocolate Cosmos"

Where do I begin with you?

It's simple with you

Yet so twisted

Twisted for the impatient ones

Your kind is believed to be extinct

How untrue, you're not extinct!

In a cut and dried world,

You're hidden in plain sight.

Dear Chocolate Cosmos

In a world of roses

You've become rare to find

A beauty rare to find

In a world full of basics

You stand out uniquely

Dear Chocolate Cosmos

You are an unusual beauty to behold

In a make-believe world

A world where roses are painted

Your originality is overwhelming

Your simplicity is sophisticated

Painted and all, they wither by dusk

And by God you're just blooming at dusk!

Your scent even plush by then

Your charm is hard-core!

Your charm is never short-lived

Come dawn or dusk you're you!

You don't give half of you

You give in full and in truth

Dear Chocolate Cosmos

Don't worry about being underrated

Don't worry if they pass you by

You're not for everyone

You're uniquely special

You're not for the undeserving

A rare gem for the deserving

Only those who know can tell

With little or no adornments,

You don't get more than a passing glance

On a closer and detailed glance,

You're all charms and sweet scent.

Your beauty runs deeper than the surface

You're not glossy, to the blind bats!

How can they not see the shine?

A shine from within, your shine!

Unpopular you are but priceless

You don't need that much crowd

All you need is the right crowd

To give you the care you deserve

And by God you shall get it!

Be unbothered by the rose rush

Dear Chocolate Cosmos

The right crowd will find you

Heaven forbid you wither before they do!

I hope you never mock patience

I hope you give faith a fighting chance

Have no fear, time will reward you.
