Pausing...

Should I ever learn to do the things I should?

Efflorescence

Peeking, photo originally taken by abyss_17.

I am the flower beneath a flower,
I hide that you may seek.

In pretty little layers
I shift and dance.

In waves of light and shadow
I beckon for you to follow.

I am the sweetness that rouses;
the softness that soothes.

Delicate is the stem that holds my heart
Ever vulnerable to the wooing wind.

I beckon...
I call...

Beneath the foliage
I wait for you...

Swirls of Smoke

You dizzy me up
In pretty little circles

Flirtatious puffs of smoke
From a cold cigarette

Round and round in my head
Lubdublubdub goes the frenzied heart

Swirls that tickle the senses
Giggly with such delight

Bewitchingly delicious
Gone too soon
