“Admire my lines,
my wanton form & tumble;
inhale my scent, hypnotic…
But be forewarned,” she said
“Press your teeth
not to my throat;
neither pluck nor bruise me;
else risk both thorn
& poison.”

The light reflecting off the petals is amazing. Messing with her is risky. Good to know she has boundaries.
Thank you 🙂 Yes. She doesn’t want to hurt any one, but best respect her boundaries. <3
Nice, evocative and heartfelt.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Nature has so many stories to tell… We translate from our own perspective and experience… I suppose this is an inarguable and unyielding truth. Thank you for visiting 🙂
