Secrets by flowers

you rise
lavender lace, 
laden of butterfly breath
i drink you
               like rain
                           drops


                         
~0~0~

your petals
fold secrets:  oil scents, lush seeds
i inhale you      
                  tea-stirred
                                   morning

~0~0~

your thorns prick
spears of red in my secret places,
i succumb                    
                 to the dying 
                                   sun

  10. This is how I see flowers: yes of course and OH! the beauty, but folds and recesses and thorns and such a brief bloom and fade.

  12. You skillfully evoke attraction, desire and eros with these tight stanzas.

  14. Wooed by a purple flower! That's better than being bitten by a vampire.
    Much more romantic too, especially the flower you are telling of.

  18. inhale, drink, succumb. You present a lot of drama here - and well, the rose is the diva so I guess it's only fitting! Thanks for playing late (I really never mind).
