As sultry as your presence emits,
you disguise your lilac bruises.
Slit your self away from poisonous roots.
You've forgotten that you are no acquired taste.
You are a universal being, planted to bring about a perfect cultivation.
They called you a shifting dream delicacy.
Brought you frostbitten from a tropical place, and still, your cross-pollutant tendencies have sept into your core.
I never wanted the acquaintance of your indulgence, but to admire your nightshade bruises.
They show a strength that I always lacked..
