full and succulent
tender plumped folds
new-formed
glisten with dewy nectar
luscious form
and ripened blush
delight the eye
a gentle touch
parts silken petals
revealing the inner bud
swollen with the urgency of life
bringing face to flower
pleasures the senses
with heady fragrance
intoxicating
to breathe such vital beauty
consumed
one savors gently
slowly
exquisite
this young flower
full bloomed
