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

    I love lavender, all purple in fact. And you make it more pleasant here! To merge with the rain drops! Wonderful write Grace!

    This is a delightful response to the prompt, Grace. Each image lingers for a moment like the taste of honey on the tongue.

    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.

    Lovely work Grace. I especially like "tea-stirred morning".

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

    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.

    ah... your poem brought the scent of rose to me. The sensory details in your pieces are exquisitely done. :-)

    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).

    Drink. Inhale. Succumb.

    Can't get more sensual than that.
