Description

Struck by Cupid’s dart
I’m bleeding belladonna,
veins surging poison.
Now blue bells and little stars
live where my eyes used to be.
 
Phlox crawls from my chest,
heart pulsing with a nectar
that is beyond sweet.
My pretty petals tempt you,
with lethal indifference.

Striking and beautiful! Your verses flow very nicely! One of the best pieces of blank verse I've read!

"Struck by Cupid’s dart

"My pretty petals tempt you,
with lethal indifference."

a stone left to be built upon ... one of the finest closure lines read in weeks ....

This is wonderful, and it's easy to see how the flower inspired you which is great. It's always nice when the message you were trying to get across actually comes across. Nice job! <3
