Fly TRAP!

My garden would be beautiful, but not complete, not without something a little out of order...like a venus fly trap, the carrion flower, some opium.

 

 

 

 

 

I think your Alice forgot to tell you about me.
This garden of hers is not what it appears to be.
Surrounded by roses and the sweet humming bees.
My stems perk and tickle because I know you see me.

 

Thirsty; I open my buds to receive the fresh rain.
Hungry; you prick a ring finger and flinch in brief pain.
I feed....you smile, in knowing I can never be tamed.
Your lips whisper out, "Grow, and take these flies for fresh game."

 

All this affection, I thought Alice would be jealous.
Attentive with a love that seemed secret and zealous.

Keeping me safe, guarding me with a golden trellis.
I am your Venus fly trap, hungry, bold and luscious.

A pearl in an oyster is not there by mistake. It may wonder about its creation as an irritation or it can see itself for the beauty of symmetry and the inspiration it creates in the eye of the beholder.

The fly trap doesn't put out a signboard about danger ahead. But of course if it gets self conscious ... . Tantalizing!

the wonderland you process through A -sexual frames is great smutty stuffed...not flirting it's just a good piece

Ahhh... what a wilding Wonderland! I see someone has been hardening off in your garden... or at least hand-pollinating, nonetheless... Yes... some things were meant to be wild. Love the playful imagery you inspire, and love gardens with all my heart!

lol I don't think I'll comment. My husband likes his flytrap. ;)

A meat-loving plant? Anything I say would only get me in trouble! :D
