Love Poem: The Garden of Europa

The Garden of Europa

A flower so unique
there was only one
Phoenicia a land of mystic
her beauty in bloom
a deception
her strength was the stem
not pretty soft petals
her love for humanity
touched the disenfranchised
her heart belonged to the poor
she was to be a gift
to a land that of sadness
failed to see 
crusades never win
her true beauty a diamond hidden
within
