“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. 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 🙂
