Shades of red from violet
to crimson to pink.
Velvety petals curl
erotically in the sun.
How could you know
you are so beautiful?
How could you know
your sharing
is a human delight?
How could I know if
the snip of your stem
brings anguish, or joy
at being abducted?
How could you know
your disrobing,
one petal at a time
are tears dropping?
For I feel now you have
taken up my sorrows.
How could you know?
