Crimson Bloom
Stroking your petals
drenched in dew,
a gentle breeze came near me,
carrying the fragrance of your nectar,
gently stirring me awake.
Captivated by your essence,
I came near you like a hummingbird,
to savor the sweetness of your bloom.
Though hummingbirds press lip to lip,
savor nectar, and fly away,
I embraced you with both my wings.
It was love that I held for you.
You said nothing,
nor did you push me away.
As I held you close to my breast,
the thorns of your tender body
pierced the depths of my chest.
I fell lifeless to the ground.
A soft smile lingered on my lips,
fading gently,
like the last light of the dusk.
As my final breath slipped away,
I saw your petals adorned in crimson,
dyed red with my blood.
Blooming with quiet satisfaction,
for we had finally become one.
