Rose of Death

Kissed by the rose of death.
It's sweet black petals
taste of wine.

I suckle on her
luscious petals,
consuming her
delightful, fragrant aroma

Descending,
Capitulating
to the dark beauty of
her malevolent spell.

Distracted.
Engrossed by 
her ebony lips.

Disregarding
the noxious prick 
of her prodding thorns

Gently piercing,
consuming,
assimilating
my existence.
