A Lustful Blossom

Under the crystal tree, an empty corpse did lie. A loving melted pedal of the rose may sigh, “You’re the most beautiful creature I’ve seen. For no flesh resembles your feature, ivy green.” A starry rose is adorned with a gold shaft of light To accompany a flowering gait for her love bite. She digs her claws into your skin upon a cold womb. Despite encountering the thorns of the lengthy vines, You are blessed with a bloom that alters many minds; Most wondrous beauty captivates a scent you consume. Down on your legs are sharp blades cutting through. Up on your head are pedals of braids that which grew. “Thou needn't weep my darling, Stay calm and count the stars. One, two, three, they’re falling, In the depths of thy sweet calling.” In a pond of blood she may give a kiss; I shall sink to the far end of this abyss. I adorn a lover after another goes; Yet I am never truly pleased, Thus I am destined to be a rose. A lustful blossom. Forever seized.
