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 the hummingbirds press lip to lip,
savor the nectar, and fly away,
I embraced you with both my wings.
It was love that I held for you.
You said nothing and 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
and 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.
