Bougainvillea
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
