The Lesson


The sweet rose sap

calls to him

he flits upon the gaudy petals

whispering sweet nothings

in her ear

as he drinks

the sweet liquer

She praises him

his bright pompous wings

she gives him all

to keep him close

providing him

the golden nectar he needs

He drinks til all

is gone

nothing left

His gaze upon the sweet

he flits away to partake

of another

she stands alone

nothing left to offer

life blood gone

The once sweet rose

bows her head
