Delonix
Delonix is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It contains trees that are native to Madagascar and east Africa. By far the best known species is the Royal Poinciana (D. regia).
The name of the genus is derived from the Greek words δηλος (delos), meaning "evident," and ονυξ (onyx), meaning "claw," referring to the petals. The common name, Poinciana, comes from a former genus of the same name in which the members of the current genus Delonix were classified along with plants now placed in the genus Caesalpinia.

Tellings
by: Idadid time take its toll did it cost too much
did it cost all the sweetness
that was the best time that you ever had
that slipped so soon from the palm of your hand
the times when you stood tall
now you're crawling with a backwards glance so strong
that you can't believe it at all
you thought that you lost such a solid love
the best friend that ever had
because the world is upside down
with too many moments you could not keep
and the places that you saw you speak
you don1t know how to see this through
but what did you miss
in the telling of all this
and how could you guess
