Midnight Orchid

My dangerous flower So beautiful, so poisonous I bow to you in the moonlit landscape I sleep with you in the sun bleached terrain. I call to you, kissing your petals I call to you, the venom burning my lips The smile on my face burning to kiss you again, the look in my eyes hoping you'll honor me once more, my hands yearning to hold yours I instead pull you close. I again kiss you the poison makes me calm, the poison calms my soul, my orchid, my midnight flower, I love you.

That's deep love to risk being poisoned by it. Well done, Jesse.
