Entrenched desire breaks a sweat
Heated by poisoned ego
Gifted by the Gods to please
Burdened by loves demanding hold
Take the flower in practiced hands
Lap up the petals with buds of taste
Fertile soil beneath such charm
Inexperienced blossom grown from seed
Hunger bleeds from this open rose
Desire the sun which feeds
Spread open these red lips of aroma
Inhaling the depths of you fragrance
Salty, lush bitterness

Incredible line,
I was just floored when I read that, Hunger bleeds from this open rose, man that is amazing
