Bodacious Rose

you reach with clinging desires and drunken temptations brightly flourished promises wrapped 'round petite virgin white pleasures yet trust hesitates around too much beauty hidden midst other scents emotional flytraps while Venus blushes knowing if she waits her hugs will be too painful to escape

It's difficult trying to escape those ' drunken temptations. ' In fact, it becomes nearly impossible. This is sensual, seduction and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations Craig, on Poem of the Week. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

La femme' fatal disguised as innocence, what we sense at times. Congratulations on a most bodaciously audacious POTW!
